Application for Assistance Open Now

Toys for Joy and the Christmas Committee provide a holiday meal and gifts for children to families across Anoka County. One application covers both. Appointment times are assigned in the order applications are received. Children under 18 receive gifts, and your household receives food for a holiday meal. If you are homebound, tell us on the application and we will bring it to you.

About Toys For Joy

The Toys for Joy Committee is made up of 100% volunteers with most of them being from the Realtor® family, but also includes many others from our community. We do several fundraising events throughout the year to raise funds to purchase gifts, but that’s still not enough. We have many drop sites throughout Anoka County around the holidays for toy collection. This assists us with our needs, but there is always a need for more.
