Thirteen years
of Decembers.

What it took to deliver nearly forty thousand toys in 2025. And the nine-county network that does it again every year.

№ 01The 2025 drive

Six weeks. Forty thousand toys.

Collection ran November 1 through December 18. Toys were sorted and queued at our San Jose warehouse, then delivered through partner nonprofits, schools, and parishes during the last week of December — a single concentrated season of work.

From 30,000 to 40,000 in one year.

The 2024 drive collected 30,000 toys. The 2025 drive collected close to 40,000 — a 33% year-over-year increase, in a season that lasted about six weeks. Most of that growth came from new workplace hosts joining the partner network.

Earlier-year totals will land here as Joey verifies them. We’d rather publish less than publish the wrong number.

№ 04The operating model

How a volunteer team moves forty thousand toys in six weeks.

Three things make it possible. None of them are us doing it alone.

Paid staff

0

Joey's Toy Drive has no paid employees. Every role — directors, logistics, transportation, communications — runs on volunteer time, on top of regular jobs and schoolwork.

Logistics

Donated

Silicon Valley Moving & Storage donates trucks, warehouse space, and freight handling to the drive every year. Without that, a volunteer team couldn't deliver at this scale.

Service area

9 counties

Sonoma to Monterey, the coast to the East Bay. Toys move from 120+ workplace collection points through one San Jose warehouse out to partner nonprofits and schools in nine counties.
