At Jake’s Toy Mania (formerly Monday Mania), we provide toys and other gifts (for kids 16 and under) for families in need, living in the greater-Boston area.
Plenty of local families need a bit of help, especially around the holidays. Nobody wants to disappoint kids who’ve already had plenty of disappointment in their lives. So we sign up families with a demonstrated need and assign them a time to go shopping. At Jake’s Toy Mania (named in honor of Jake Kennedy, our beloved co-founder, who died in 2020), we stock our shelves with new toys and other items – all donated thanks to the generosity of our supporters – and have families shop for free. We even try to make sure there are gift cards for the older kids who’ve outgrown dolls and trucks.
THIS YEAR, WE ARE WORKING OUT OF 34 BROMFIELD STREET IN DOWNTOWN CROSSING.
FOR THOSE IN NEED OF HELP: Info for those looking for help can be found here: 2024 CITC Jake’s Toy Mania This document includes ALL the information you need to participate in Jake’s Toy Mania: requirements, signup and pickup times and location, and other details. (En español, aqui.)
December 8th is the final date for sign up. After this date, you will no longer be able to register your children to receive gifts from Christmas in the City.

TO DONATE TOYS: Our 2024 Most Wanted Toys list will be posted by mid-October. If you’d like to run a toy drive or otherwise support Jake’s Toy Mania, please email maureen@christmasinthecity.org.
Everyone deserves to have fun at Christmas! And year after year, this huge team of CITC volunteers just makes that happen for a lot of great kids.
