Be the Difference for Kentucky Kids
This year marks 15 years of The Toy Chest Children’s Charity bringing joy, hope, and belonging to children across Kentucky — and we’re just getting started. As we celebrate this milestone and launch Elf Academy, we’re calling on volunteers like you to help make sure that Christmas belongs to every child.
The Toy Chest is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization built on the passion, creativity, and generosity of people who care deeply about children and community. Whether you have a few hours to give, a new idea to share, or the desire to lead a project, there’s a place for you here. Your time, energy, and heart can make a life-changing difference for a child this Christmas.
🎁 Ways to Get Involved
✨ Become a Christmas Volunteer
Join our team of “Elves” to help make the season unforgettable. You can sponsor a child and shop from their wishlist, help sort and wrap gifts, or deliver presents directly to families — spreading joy and hope across Kentucky.
🧸 Host a Toy Drive
Rally your workplace, school, or community to collect toys that bring smiles and spark imagination. Every toy donated helps us ensure no child is left out of the magic.
🧥 Organize a Coat or Clothing Drive
Warmth is a gift, too. Host a drive at your church, community center, or neighborhood to help keep children cozy and cared for this winter.
🎅 Share the Magic
Tell friends and family about The Toy Chest and our mission. Every conversation and every share expands our reach and helps more children feel seen, valued, and loved.
📲 Engage on Social Media
Follow us and share our posts to stay updated on events, volunteer opportunities, and stories of impact. Your voice helps grow our community of support.
💖 Make a Financial Donation
Every dollar you give goes directly toward serving children across Kentucky. The Toy Chest is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your gift is tax-deductible — and deeply impactful.
