Little Smiles' 16th Annual Holiday Toy Drive
Community invited to shop Little Smiles' Amazon Wish List, donate online or by text, or drop off a new, unwrapped gift through December 25
Little Smiles™ has launched its 16th Annual Holiday Toy Drive, inviting the community to donate new, unwrapped gifts for local children in need, from newborns to age 18, now through December 25, 2025.
Community members can make a difference by shopping the Little Smiles Amazon Wish List, making an online donation, texting LITTLESMILES to 44321, or dropping off a new, unwrapped toy at participating businesses listed on littlesmilesfl.org, or at the Little Smiles North Pole, 3569 91st Street North, Suite 4, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33403.
For more than 25 years, Little Smiles has supported children facing illness, homelessness, and tragedy, helping more than 60,000 local children in 2024 alone. Serving communities from Daytona Beach to Miami, the organization partners with 33 pediatric facilities, including hospitals, medical daycare centers, hospices, shelters, foster homes, law enforcement agencies, and medical support organizations.

“The need is greater than ever this year, and we rely on our community’s generosity to ensure no child goes without a smile this holiday season,” said Samantha Shepherd, Interim Executive Director of Little Smiles Florida. “Every toy donated helps remind a child that they are seen, valued, and loved during what can be a very difficult time.”
Holiday Toy Drive donations also support year-round programs through Little Smiles’ pediatric partners as well as Project S.M.I.L.E., which partners with local law enforcement agencies and domestic abuse shelters to provide clothing, shoes, and school supplies to homeless, displaced, and abused children in Palm Beach County.
