Every child deserves the right to imagine, dream, invent and have fun through toys and play. Through The Toy Bank, charities supporting underserved, homeless and at-risk children can obtain newly manufactured toys. And, toy manufacturers, retailers and distributors can reach children in need around the world - “Millions of toys for millions of kids.”

Since The Toy Bank first opened its doors in April 2003, toys from hundreds of donors have been distributed to children in need throughout North America. A partnership between the The Toy Industry Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the North American toy industry, and Gifts In Kind International, the leading charity in product philanthropy, The Toy Bank is the first industry-wide program of its kind.

Throughout the industry’s history, toy manufacturers have been dedicated to the welfare of children and the improvement of their physical, emotional and mental well-being. This dedication and commitment prompted the creation of The Toy Bank, through the partnership with Gifts In Kind International and its broad network of more than 200,000 charities around the world. Together, Gifts In Kind International and the toy industry are working to ensure that underserved children are able to enjoy the simple pleasure of playing with a favorite toy.
