Annual toy drive brought joy to local families

Families gathered at the BBBS office this holiday season for our annual toy drive, where staff and volunteers helped create a joyful, welcoming experience for children and their families.

Through the generosity of our supporters and sponsors, our annual toy drive welcomed around 80 Littles from our program. Families were invited to shop a festive, holiday-themed “toy store,” where children could choose gifts just for them.

By the end of the day, we distributed 330 toys and 10 bikes, ensuring every child left with something special.

Families enjoyed pizza generously provided by Donatos, spent time at arts and crafts stations, and captured memories with photos alongside Santa and a special guest appearance from Miss Teen Georgia USA. Laughter, smiles, and holiday spirit filled the space from start to finish.

This event would not have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors: Nebo, Centegix, Accenture, Lumistella, Robert Half, and Donatos. Their generosity helped transform a simple idea into a meaningful holiday experience for dozens of families.

As we reflect on this day, we’re reminded that community support makes moments like this possible, not just during the holidays, but all year long. When families feel supported and children feel seen, the impact extends far beyond one event.

If you’re inspired by the joy of this toy drive, we invite you to help us continue serving children and families in our community.
