Toys for Joys is back...in Provincetown this year!!! We are trying something new, and we hope this will be a holiday tradition for us as we restructure and plan the future expansion of our organization. Please bring a toy (or 3) to our event on Saturday, December 6. If you would like to donate to our organization as well, please do so!! We are in need of donations to purchase all the toys and gifts this year. This is not the end of a Boston event. We may bring that back next year...stay tuned!

What started out in 2002 as a small housewarming holiday party with a tree and a few bags of toys, turned into a 501(c)(3) organization. Through the generosity of friends, family, generous corporations, local businesses, and individual sponsors, we have distributed over 70,000 toys and gifts through our beneficiary partners:

Wonderfund of Massachusetts (MA Department of Children and Families)
Casa Iris/Multicultural AIDS Coalition (Jamaica Plain)
IBA (South End)
Eastern Service Workers Association (Dorchester, East Boston, Mattapan)
United South End Settlements (South End)
Urban Farming Institute (Mattapan, Dorchester)
Boston Housing Authority/Joseph Tierney Learning Center (Boston)
St. Ann’s Home and School (Methuen)

After we purchase the toys and gifts for all ages, we receive 2 tractor trailers just before the holidays. Donated trucks from our amazing logistics partners (PEAK Event Services and Big Foot Moving and Storage) become “Santa’s Sleigh’s” delivering them throughout Massachusetts from Cape Cod to Pittsfield.

Our goal in 2025 is to distribute 10,000 toys and gifts!! We need to raise $100,000 to do this! Contributions to Toys for Joys, Inc. may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The deductible amount excludes the fair market value of any goods or services received.

We are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Boston Gay Men’s Chorus! BGMC is offering Toys for Joys supporters a 10% discount to their Boston performances of Holigays on December 12 & 13^th at 8PM at NEC’s Jordan Hall. Use discount code ‘TOYS4JOYS25’ at checkout. Tickets can be purchased HERE, or by calling 617-542-SING.
