DMS Service- Brighten a Child’s Holiday

Brighten a Child’s Holiday: Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop Toy Drive

Since 1959, the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop has helped make Christmas brighter for children from infancy through age 10 in the Englewood, Sheridan, and Littleton school districts. This volunteer-powered nonprofit brings neighbors together to provide holiday gifts and welcome local families with warmth and dignity.

This holiday season, Denver Metro South Rotary Club invites you to help spread that joy! Our toy drive brings members, local businesses, and community volunteers together to collect gifts for children in our community.

What we’re collecting

Please donate new, unused toys in their original packaging for children ages 10 and under. Gift ideas include building sets, dolls, art kits, books, games, toy cars, toddler toys, and sports gear. Please refer to the accompanying wish list for additional suggestions. No weapons or toy weapons, please.

Community collection boxes

Donation boxes will be hosted at participating local businesses from the third week of October through the second week of November 2026. Drop-off locations will be announced as they are confirmed.

Live toy drive: Saturday, November 7, 2026

Join us outside a Target location for an additional opportunity to donate toys, volunteer, and support local families. The location, time, and volunteer details will be announced.

Help make it happen

Donate a toy, invite your business to host a collection box, volunteer at the live drive, or share this project with friends and neighbors. Club members can contact Anette to champion a business collection spot or express interest in volunteering.

Every donation is a chance to brighten a child’s holiday and help a family feel supported.

Donate a toy. Share the joy.
