Celebrating 12 Years of Giving
The first Toy Giveaway at North Branch YMCA.
It all started when...
Northside Toy Drive began in 2012 as an effort to improve Christmas morning for a few children in Amarillo, Texas. A small group of givers gathered for a social hour and filled a small trailer with toys. The event has grown to one of Amarillo’s most popular formal affairs, and the giving spirit remains as the need in our community increases each year.
Our Mission
We are uplifting and encouraging children of the Amarillo community through our annual Christmas Toy Giveaway. We also provide college scholarships to high school seniors seeking to further their education. Northside Toy Drive is a 501(c)(3) organization.
