Variety holds its annual Toy Drive from mid-November to the beginning of December each year. We recruit companies, organizations, apartment and corporate buildings to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute them as Holiday gifts to over 1,000 needy children in the community at our Annual Holiday party. 

“Seventeen years ago I began collecting toys and books with my coworkers when Variety needed help with the holiday festivities.   During these years I have been blessed with no greater satisfaction then knowing this simple act of kindness has touched so many young lives and provided countless smiles and happiness. “
~Sharon Snyder, MD Sass
