Fordham’s 2025 Holiday Toy Drive

Every year, our Holiday Toy Drive reminds us of the heart of Fordham, where we show up for our neighbors, celebrate community, and ensure that Bronx families experience the joy and dignity of the season. This December, we’re excited to invite students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners to participate in one of our most cherished traditions.

This year’s giveaway is especially important. With families across our surrounding neighborhoods still recovering from multiple fires and displacement, we are committed to making sure every child who walks through our doors feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

There are several opportunities for engagement:

• Donate a gift from now through Tuesday, Dec. 16. The toys should be unwrapped and geared toward ages ranging from newborn to 17. Drop-off locations include: Lowenstein lobby, Gabelli School of Business lobby and CCEL office (Room 140 at 140 W. 62nd St.), McShane Campus Center entrance and CCEL office (Room 215), and the Public Safety office at Rose Hill.
• Sponsor an age group or station at the giveaway event with your department.
• Volunteer to wrap presents Tuesday, Dec. 16, 3 to 8 p.m. or Wednesday, Dec. 17, noon to 5 p.m. at the McShane Student Center.
• Volunteer at the giveaway event Thursday, Dec. 18, 3 to 8 p.m. at the McShane Student Center.
