​ Donate Toys & Gifts

The Beacon the Elf Gives Back Drive accepts unwrapped new toys, gift cards, christmas day meals and cash donations. There is a larger need for gifts for tweens and teens, and we try to limit the number of stuffed toys received as our warehouse is already overflowing with their cuteness.
​
We accept donations all year round! Please call or email the office to book an appointment for donation drop off. 
If you’d like to carry one of our drive boxes, contact us.
