Program

Holiday Toy Drive

Every December we collect new, unwrapped toys and put them in the hands of York County children before Christmas. Every child deserves something to unwrap.

Toy Request Form coming soon

Drive Results

Making the holidays brighter

Drive statistics are confirmed with AnnMarie each season and updated here. Check back after our next drive event.

We accept new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0–17. Donations are collected throughout November and December, then sorted by age group and distributed at our community distribution event before Christmas.

All toys go to York County children. We do not sell donations or redirect them to other programs.

Holiday Event

Bring a toy to Whoville

Our holiday fundraiser with Referral Partners Plus doubles as a toy drop-off. Every new toy you bring goes to a York County child this Christmas.

With Referral Partners Plus

Welcome to Whoville: A Grinchmas Celebration

Wednesday, December 2, 2026, 5–8 PMWellSpan Park, 1741 Lounge (2nd floor), York, PA

An evening with the Grinch himself: local vendors, a silent auction, snacks and door prizes. Every guest gets free admission to Bright Nights.

Bring a new toy for our Holiday Toy Drive, or a personal care item for veteran stocking stuffing.

Community Partnership

Penn State Children's Hospital

Our Holiday Toy Drive reaches beyond York County. GH4BF partners with Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey, PA — ensuring that children spending the holiday season in the hospital have something to unwrap too.

Kids don't choose to be in the hospital at Christmas. We show up so they know their community hasn't forgotten them. Every toy donated to GH4BF has a chance to reach a child who needs it most.

“No child should feel forgotten during the holidays — in a hospital bed or at home.”

— AnnMarie DiPasquale, Founder
