Happy first day of May 🥳
Today marks the official kickoff of the 8th Annual Birthday Toy Drive! From May 1st through July 19th, we’ll be collecting new toys, books & art supplies to benefit The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh.
This year, our goal is to collect 500 new items & we know with the help of our fellow Yinzers & amazing neighbors, we can make it happen!
You can bring donations to one of our two drop-off spots:
- SPLAT @ 5301 Brightwood Rd. Bethel Park, PA 15102
- Trace Brewing @ 4312 Main St. Pittsburgh, PA 15224
Please don’t leave items outside or at the door — each location has a clearly marked bin for donations. If you don’t see it, just ask an employee!
Can’t make it to a drop-off spot? No problem — reach out to us & we’ll arrange for one of our volunteers to pick up your items. Just a reminder: we are 100% volunteer-run!
Need donation ideas?
Visit BirthdayToyDrive.Fun/Donate for inspiration and more info on what & where to donate.
We only accept new items. If you have gently used items to donate, we encourage you to check out The Free Store.
Not in Pittsburgh? You can still take part! If you’d like to ship donations, just reach out & we’ll provide you with the mailing address.
Our Amazon Wish List is open 24/7, 365 days a year & regularly updated. You can even add extra items to your cart — if there’s something specific you want to donate, feel free to bundle it with a wish list item. Our address will auto-fill at checkout when you use our link.
We love recognizing our donors! After you donate, please take a moment to fill out our donor form at BirthdayToyDrive.Fun/Become-A-Donor. We’ll give you a shoutout on our Donor Wall — there’s no minimum donation, whether it’s a box of crayons or a Power Wheels! It’s also a great way to highlight your business.
