For decades, the Kennedy Center has proudly supported Charlestown families throughout the year, and the holidays are no exception. Our Annual Holiday Toy Drive is a longstanding community tradition, reaching nearly 700 children from birth through age 18 each year.
Each child receives two age-appropriate gifts, one wish-list item, books, and pajamas, helping make the holidays brighter for hundreds of local families.
This impact is made possible by the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and community partners who help us continue this important work year after year.
Important Dates:
October 26: Sponsor a Family registration opens.
November 2–13: Holiday Toy Drive registration opens for Charlestown families.
Whether you’re a family looking to participate or a community member interested in sponsoring a family, we invite you to be part of this longstanding tradition.
Together, we’re making a difference in Charlestown during the holidays and all year long.
