About His Toy Store

His Toy Store brings hope and joy to life across our city—where where 1 in 4 children live below the poverty line. With your help, we can provide 20,000 children with toys through 35+ free toy stores across the five boroughs. Let's make a meaningful impact and create lasting memories for families in need this holiday!

For over 25 years, His Toy Store has been an annual Christmas outreach that provides toys to families in deep need. This year, we're continuing to mobilize volunteers and raise holiday funds for on-site toy stores and other holiday programs this season. Our goal is to fundraise $200,000 during November to make His Toy Store possible! Give at hfny.org/hts.
