Join the Mission: Bring Holiday Joy to a Child with the NuvisionCares Toy Drive

Ever notice how the holidays can feel different depending on what you’re going through? Some families are counting down to the big day, and others are counting dollars trying to make it all work. That’s why our holiday toy drives matter. One gift can change the way a kid remembers this season—and in some homes, it’s the reason they get to open anything at all.

So this year, we’re asking: Can You help a child feel seen, supported, and remembered this holiday season?

Because across Alaska, Wyoming, Southern California, and the Bay Area, we’re teaming up with community partners, local nonprofits, and Toys for Tots to make that happen. And every toy donated goes straight to kids and families in the communities we serve.

Alaska & Wyoming

In Alaska and Wyoming, we’re accepting new, unwrapped toys for children and teens (ages 6-18).  If you can help, we’re accepting donations until December 19, 2025.

The Difference One Toy Can Make

Many parents tell us the holidays are the hardest time of the year financially. A toy might seem small, but for a family struggling right now, it can  make a real difference, and provide a kid a memory that lasts a lifetime.
