Donate Toys to 'Mission Joy Toy Drive' to Stock the Mission Arlington Christmas Store
This holiday season, Arlington ISD and its community partners are bringing extra joy to local children with something new and exciting — the first-ever Mission Joy Toy Drive! This special event will support the Mission Arlington Christmas Store, which helps brighten the holidays for families in need.
But the district isn’t doing this alone. We’ve teamed up with the City of Arlington, the Arlington Fire Department and the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce to make the magic happen. With drop-off locations across the city, it’s never been easier to spread some holiday cheer. Just grab a new, unwrapped toy for a boy or girl and drop it off at one of the many collection boxes, including at more than 30 Arlington ISD schools, Arlington City Hall, and Arlington recreation centers, library branches and fire stations.
Donations are being accepted until Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024, so there’s still time to make a difference.
The grand finale of the Mission Joy Toy Drive is a drive-thru toy drop-off event happening from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Dr. Marcelo Cavazos Center for Visual and Performing Arts, 900 E. Sanford St. It’s not just about giving back — it’s a celebration! Swing by, drop off a toy and soak up the holiday spirit with live performances from Arlington ISD students. You’ll even get to meet Tillie Burgin, the executive director of Mission Arlington, along with her team, who’ll be there to collect and prepare the toys for the Christmas Store opening on Wednesday, Dec. 11.
