Operation HoHoHo

As we enter our 25th year of collecting toys to help share the smiles at the Ronald McDonald House, we’re going to need your help to get creative as we work our ways through a “hybrid” environment. The good news is we made it through last year’s unique situation and we’re ready to roll this year and continue sharing the smiles!

How to participate

We work with both organizations and individuals to collect unwrapped gifts. So whether your organization would like to arrange a toy drive or you would like to share a smile directly – we can accommodate! Reach out, and we’ll provide you with all you need, including collection boxes and signs!

What types of presents

We are looking for all types of new unwrapped gifts for children between 2 to 16. Through the years, we have received everything from board games to bicycles -> Our best advice is to think back to when you were a child and what made you smile?

History

Operation HoHoHo is a toy drive that we hold every December to help bring smiles to the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Long Branch during the holiday season as a member of their family fights to see their
 next Christmas.

Help spread the holiday cheer through Operation HoHoHo…

Operation Ho Ho Ho uses a simple philosophy to spread the smiles to the children and families of The Ronald McDonald House on Christmas by collecting unwrapped gifts at various events during the holidays. We work with local organizations that set up drop-off centers, and collections and as we’ve adapted through last year, you can also send the presents directly to us at 20 Fox Hill Drive, Denville, NJ 07834. We are relying on all of you to spread the word and send toys (or drop them off if you are local) so that we can turn this into the best holiday ever for the kids at The Ronald McDonald House.

Ronald McDonald House Who the Ronald McDonald House is.

We know that families are stronger when they are together, and their presence helps a sick child heal faster and cope better. While Ronald McDonald House Charities cannot make medicine taste better or take away painful treatments, we can help lessen the burden and ensure more than 4 million families a year have the stability and resources they need to keep their child healthy and happy.

Hosting a Holiday Party?

A simply way to get involved! When you send out your invitations for your holiday parties, why not include a little note that you’re participating in Operation HoHoHo and instead of bringing a bottle of wine or trinket, why not bring a present that will help make the day of a toddler
