Ways To Get Involved



Donate New Toys and Gifts
We’re collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children ages newborn to 19 years old. Gift cards are also welcome—please label them with the dollar amount.

• Drop-Off Deadline: Friday, December 5, 2025
• Location: Mitchell Thorp Foundation, 2382 Faraday Ave, Suite 150, Carlsbad, CA 92008
• Office Hours: Monday–Thursday: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Friday: 9:00 AM – 1:30 PM

If your business or organization would like to host a toy drive, we’ll provide a toy collection box and an informational email to share with your team.

Would you like to purchase gifts directly for a specific family? Let us know, and we’ll send you an Amazon Wish List.

Volunteer at Our Wrap-A-Thon
Join us for our Wrap-A-Thon event, where volunteers come together to wrap hundreds of gifts in preparation for delivery days.
Dates: December 8 – December 11, 2025
Location: Mitchell Thorp Foundation, 2382 Faraday Ave, Suite 150, Carlsbad, CA 92008
Wrap-A-Thon Sessions:

• Monday, December 8 | 12 PM – 4 PM
• Tuesday, December 9 | 12 PM – 4 PM

We’ll have wrapping stations ready with paper, tape, scissors, and more. Extra wrapping supplies are always appreciated, as we’ll be wrapping a large number of gifts. Enjoy tea, coffee, cookies, and light refreshments while you wrap and connect with others making a difference.
