ABOUT Toys for Tots (City of Richmond)

Each year, I personally deliver our donated toys to the local Fire Department (Station 6) where they are pooled as part of the City’s toys-for-tots campaign, supporting local needy families.

The City of Richmond and Radio One have partnered together for the past several years for the annual Holiday Toy Drive. Thousands of Richmond residents are selected by the radio station each Christmas season to attend the event to receive toys. Neighbor to Neighbor has been honored to assist this initiative by helping to recruit volunteers to serve at the annual event. Volunteers provide various duties such as unloading toys from moving trucks, setting up toy displays, assisting residents with selecting toys during the event, and helping to manage large crowds.

If you would like to volunteer on Friday, December 7th and help deliver joy to families in need, please go to to this link- www.surveymonkey.com/r/TDG3DH7
