Nathaniel’s Toy Shop Volunteer Information
The only way we can do this is through the generosity of the community,
through people like you!

Host a Virtual Toy Drive:
A virtual toy drive lets you donate toys online, making it easy and convenient. Here’s how it works:
- Create a Wish List: Make a wish list on Amazon with toys for different age groups and needs. We have also provided a list to help guide you.
- Share the List: Invite friends, family, and co-workers to buy items from the list by sharing it via email, social media, or text.
- Easy Donations: When someone buys a toy from the list, Amazon can ship it directly to Nathaniel’s Hope at 5210 South Orange Ave, Orlando, Fl, 32809 —no need for drop-offs.
- Track Progress: You can see how many toys have been bought and what’s still needed.
Just a few ideas:
Holiday Party Toy Drive: Host a holiday-themed party where admission is a new, unwrapped toy.
Corporate Toy Collection: Partner with your fellow co-workers and set up collection bins in your office. You can also combine it with a Christmas office party.
Community Challenge: Create a friendly competition between local schools, neighborhoods, or sports teams to see who can collect the most toys. Offer a small prize or recognition for the winning group.
Toy Drive Thru: Organize a school drive-thru toy drop-off event where donors can quickly and safely drop off toys without leaving their cars. Make it festive with music, decorations, and volunteers in holiday costumes.
Social Media Campaign: Launch a social media campaign encouraging people to donate toys. Share stories, photos, and videos about the impact of their donations and create a hashtag to spread the word.
Local Store Partnerships: Collaborate with local retail stores to set up collection bins. Shoppers can purchase and drop off toys at the store. Or the store owner can have preselected gifts to purchase at a discount and donate at the same time.
