Attention Boston Businesses!

Looking for a fulfilling and fun team building event? Come help with Christmas in the City’s Jake’s Toy Mania, our annual toy giveaway. Every year, we set up a magical toy shop, where under-served individuals can select toys free-of-charge for their children.

100% goes to kids and families

We do 100% of everything with volunteers – 15-20 managing the mission year-round, and, when we hold our big party, 2,500 for events. Being all-volunteer ensures that 100% of our donations go to those we support. Many volunteers were once kids at the party and come back to give back. Our event volunteers return again and again, and many tell us it’s the best day of the year.

I love helping families understand that no matter what life is throwing at you HOPE is not that far and can come in different shapes, forms and colors.
