WFAA’s Santa's Helpers is celebrating its 54th year of collecting holiday toys for children throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth counties of Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant.
The 2022 Santa's Helpers Toy Drive was a huge success providing holiday toys to more than 50,000 needy children throughout the four-county Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The 2023 Toy Drive is Nov. 24 through Dec. 15, 2023. The 2022 Santa's Helpers Campaign is generously being sponsored by Albertson’s, Tom Thumb, Amazon, Don Davis Auto Group, and Milestone Electric. Toys may be dropped off at any local sponsor location through Dec. 15.

Our 2023 toy drives have closed. Thank you for all of your support!
Over 25 community service organizations throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area (Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties) are approved to distribute toys to needy children, age infant through teen. All agencies within the Santa's Helpers program are approved based on their ability to coordinate applications from needy families and to adequately cover zip codes in areas where there is the most need.
