Important Information — Please Read Before Calling

We are currently receiving a high volume of calls, many of which can be answered right here on our website. Please understand that we are a small volunteer group, and this time of year we are extremely busy processing orders and preparing for the upcoming Bike Blast. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

New Location
Our new address is:
615 McKean Street, Auburndale

When you arrive on McKean Street, look for the Toys for Tots signs and follow them around to the back of the buildings. We are located in the last unit.
A map is also available on our Contact page.

Checking Your Application Status

We began processing applications on November 1st.
We process applications in batches of 200, and we have nearly 5,000 applications to complete.

If you have not heard from us by December 18th, then please call us.

To check the status of your application, visit toysfortots.org
On the homepage, you will find the link to check application status. You will need:
Your last name
Your assigned control number (given when you applied)

Important Notes About Your Status:
  • If your status says “Working”, it means your application is still being processed.
  • If your status shows a pickup date of December 25th, this is only a default date. We use this until your actual distribution date is assigned.
  • As stated when you applied, you will have three days to pick up your toys once your distribution date is assigned.
Please note: We cannot check application status by phone.

Becoming a Drop Box Location

If you want to host a Toys for Tots drop box—thank you! Your support means so much.
However, you must sign up on our website each year so we can:

Keep track of all drop box locations
Ensure toys are returned to our campaign
Prevent fraudulent collections (which, unfortunately, have happened in the past)

Before You Call

We kindly encourage you to review the information on our website, as most questions can be answered here. Due to our limited volunteer capacity, we are unable to answer all calls.

Thank you for your patience, your support, and your understanding.
Together, we are making a difference for the children in our community.
