Jake’s Toy Mania

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.

 

 

Who doesn’t like a good shopping spree?

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.

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 was the final date for 2024 signups. If you have not already signed up and received your registration card, you will NOT be able to receive gifts for your children at Jake’s Toy Mania. For those who have signed up and received a registration card, you must pick up your toys at the assigned time/date at 34 Bromfield Street. This is the same location where you signed up.

El 8 de diciembre fue la fecha final para las inscripciones de 2024. Si aún no se ha registrado y no ha recibido su tarjeta de registro, NO podrá recibir regalos para sus hijos en Jake’s Toy Mania.
