Christmas Toy Drive
support families in need this holiday season
Every year, with the support of generous donors, Better Together provides Christmas gifts to the families it serves. This year, the need is even greater. Better Together has expanded to serve six regions of Florida that span 48 counties. Better Together will accept donations of new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0 – 17 years old. Items of greatest need include toys for younger children and gift cards in increments of $25 for older children.
The deadline to drop off toys at our Toy Drive locations is December 10.
Community is key to a family getting through a crisis. In addition to the toy drive, Better Together connects volunteers and families in need of support. This Christmas season, volunteers can sign up to Adopt a Family. You will be paired with a family in need and will fulfill a family’s wish list, which includes delivering the gifts directly to the family. Click the button below to get started.
The deadline to sign up to Adopt a Family for Christmas is December 15.
Amazon Wish Lists
To donate online, Better Together created an Amazon wish list for each region we serve. Items purchased through these lists ship directly to the Better Together team in that region.

Give the gift of time year-round
We’re changing the world for families, but we can’t do it alone. In addition to host families, we need support volunteers, mentors and job coaches. There’s a role for everyone. Fill out this short form to learn more and get involved.
A Gift for Parents
Our volunteers, donors, and supporters are here to make Christmas a time of joy and reflection. During the busy holiday season, the best gift a parent can get is time, so we’ve created several holiday events designed for the kids to enjoy Christmas activities while you focus on other matters. Check out our events calendar to learn more.
