Little Italy Toy Drive
November 22, 2024 to December 18, 2024
Join the Little Italy Association and local businesses to Bring Joy by Giving A Toy!
Over the past decade, the Little Italy Association has hosted the Little Italy Toy Drive to benefit the foster children of New Alternatives, Inc. and has brought in over 6,000 toys. Local restaurants, retailers and the Little Italy Mercato will host drop-off boxes where San Diegans and guests can drop-off a new unwrapped toy. Toys are requested to be new, unwrapped and appropriate for a child between ages 1 and 18.
If you are interested in choosing a gift selected by one of the foster children from New Alternatives, you can visit New Alternative's Amazon Holiday Gift Registry by clicking on button below. All gifts purchased from Gift Registry will be mailed to New Alternatives for distribution to foster children
