The Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) will host its largest toy drive of the year at the North American International Toy Fair in New York City. Exhibitors are welcome to donate playthings when the marketplace closes at 4 p.m. on Feb. 21.
As the official charity of Toy Fair, the TIF and its team of Toy Bank volunteers will collect puzzles, plush, arts and crafts, dolls, action figures, and other toys. The donated toys will be sent to kids’ charities in the New York tri-state area, serving kids who are impoverished, neglected, sick, or in need.
Last year, the foundation collected more than 50,000 donated toys and games valued at more than half a million dollars.
