We are delighted to announce the launch of the 27th annual Operation HoHoHo Toy Drive, continuing our cherished tradition of bringing holiday cheer to the children and families at the Ronald McDonald House. This year, we proudly maintain our collaboration with the Camden Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey, striving to make this season the brightest yet.
What Types of Presents Are Needed?
Our goal is to cater to a wide range of ages and interests, as we collect new, unwrapped gifts for children aged 2 to 16. Over the years, we’ve been amazed at the variety of presents – from board games to bicycles. We encourage you to think back to your own childhood: what brought you joy? What made you smile? That nostalgic reflection is your best guide in choosing a gift that will light up a child’s face this holiday season.
How Can You Participate?
Everyone can be a part of this wonderful initiative:
- For Organizations: If your group or organization wants to conduct a toy drive, reach out to us for support. We’ll provide collection boxes and signs to help you get started.
- For Individuals: Drop off your unwrapped gifts at our designated centers. We’ve ensured these locations are accessible to make your generous contributions as convenient as possible.
- Spread the Word: Your voice is powerful! Share the details of this drive within your community and on social media. By doing so, you’re not just spreading the word; you’re spreading joy.
History and Mission of Operation HoHoHo
Operation HoHoHo is more than a toy drive; it’s a beacon of hope. Held every December, our mission is to bring smiles to the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House during the holiday season. As they face challenging times, with a loved one fighting to see their next Christmas, your gifts provide a much-needed sense of normalcy and happiness.
Our approach is straightforward yet impactful: we collect unwrapped gifts at various events throughout the holidays. We collaborate with local organizations for setting up drop-off centers, and you can also mail presents directly to us at 20 Fox Hill Drive, Denville, NJ 07834. Your involvement is crucial. By spreading the word and donating toys, you help us create the most joyful holiday season for the children at The Ronald McDonald House.
As we embark on this year’s Operation HoHoHo, we do so with gratitude and hope, inspired by your generous spirit. Together, let’s fill this holiday season with love, giving, and unforgettable smiles. Join us in making a difference, one gift at a time.
