Full Notification

This year, the Department’s Community Services Bureau (CSB) will lead a Toy Drive that will benefit two programs in our City: the Berkeley Junior Jacket Football and Cheer Team and the Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS) program. Each of these programs provide various levels of shelter and support services to unhoused and/or underprivileged families.
 
The Department is currently accepting new, unwrapped toys for children between the ages of 4-16 years old (please refer to the attached guideline for age-appropriate toys). Clothes and gift cards cannot be accepted.
