Holidays are the time when family and friends come together and spend some quality time with one other. People give gifts to one another and especially to children. For children holidays are the best as they spend time with their parents and siblings and receive gifts from parents and relatives. They make long wish lists for the things and toys they want. But holidays are not the same for all the children, some children may spend their holidays without any gifts and toys and any enjoyment. Some low-income families cannot afford gifts and toys for their children. For those children toy drives are set up, to provide them with little happiness in the form of toys during holidays. 

Toy Drives are set up to collect donations for the children whose parents cannot afford to provide them with toys. People donate toys to such children and bring them happiness especially in holidays. If you are looking forward to setting up a toy drive in these holidays here are some suggestions for you. 

• Setting up easily accessible drop place: 

For your toy drive to get maximum toy donations you have to set up a proper drop place for your donations. Otherwise, people will end up being confused about where to drop their donations.
