REGISTER A CHILD

Any Auburn resident wishing to register a child to receive a gift from the Auburn Drive-Thru Toy Drive can do so online at auburnalabama.org/toy-drive. Registration is open from Nov. 1 through Nov. 15.

To participate in the program and receive assistance, a parent or legal guardian must provide a copy of their photo ID, proof of legal guardianship and proof of Auburn residency, such as a copy of a recent water bill or lease agreement.
