Every year, the Chanhassen Fire Department collects thousands of toys for children on behalf of Toys for Tots. Bring your donations to one of three city locations to make a child's holiday dreams come true.

In 2024, the Chanhassen Fire Department received 2,232 toys—the highest amount they've received over the past five years! Thank you to everyone who donated to make a child's holiday season extra special. Thank you to the residents of the Longacres neighborhood who helped collect 485 of those donations, and Biolyph, who donated $2,550 to the cause.

FAQs

Are there toys/gifts that are not accepted/distributed?
Toys for Tots will not accept:
- Realistic-looking weapons
- Clothes
- Food
- Used or open toys
- Liquid products (such as cologne, perfume, body wash, lotion, toothpaste etc.)
If you desire to donate these items, please find a charity in your local area that will accept them.
Is there a list of available toys to guide me with my donation?

Toys for Tots does not publish a list of appropriate toys to donate. If such a list were created, most would follow it, resulting in a limited selection of items to distribute in each community. We prefer our donors consider what is an appropriate gift for their child/relative, purchase the item, and donate to Toys for Tots.
What can I donate?
Store-bought gifts or donations only. You may only donate items with tags or original packaging. Realistic-looking weapons and food items are not accepted.

Here are some ideas for teens and pre-teens:
- Sporting equipment/bags/balls
- Books
- Backpacks
- Cosmetics
- Purses
- Watch/wallet gift sets
- Bath gift sets
- Board games
- Radio control (RC) cars/trucks
- Hand-held electronics
- Skateboards/helmets
- Curling irons
- Hair straighteners
- Hair dryers
If you wish to donate financially instead of a packaged item, you can donate online here or send a check (see address below). If you are donating due to the Chanhassen Fire Department drive, please write that in the Organization box or check line.
