Holiday Toy Drive

Holiday Gift Drive 2025

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of Essex County Holiday Gifts 2025 Drive: Help make the holiday season brighter for the foster children of Essex County by donating toys and essentials to foster youth served by CASA of Essex County, a non-profit organization that trains community volunteers to advocate for children in the foster care system.

There are nearly 600 Essex County youth in foster care. Your donation will put smiles on the faces of CASA youth and warmth in their hearts during this holiday season when they are not living at home. Items and needed quantities are listed below in categories – please review the entire list as you may choose to donate 1 or more of a particular item.

Thank you for opening your heart and sharing your generosity to a youth in out-of-home placement. If you would like to know how you can help in a larger capacity, such as becoming a CASA yourself, check out our website at www.casaessex.org.

Please note because our office is in a Federal Court Building, all gifts will be shipped to our storage unit in Roseland. In order for the gifts to be delivered to our CASA youth in time for the holidays, we ask that you make a donation by Monday, December 15, 2025. Thank you for helping spread some holiday joy!
