AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn Public Safety is excited to announce the return of its annual Auburn Toy Drive — a community-driven event, inviting residents and local businesses to help make the season brighter for families in need.

REGISTER A CHILD

Any Auburn resident wishing to register a child ages 3-12 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, a copy of each child's birth certificate and proof of Auburn residency, such as a copy of a recent water bill or lease agreement.

Please note that families may only register for the toy drive two years in a row. Families who receive toys in 2025 will be eligible to register in 2026 if they meet the registration requirements.

If you are unable to register online, please reach out to toydrive@auburnalabama.org.

DONATE

During this holiday season, please remember those who may be less fortunate. All donations are extremely important. Anyone wishing to donate can drop off newly purchased unwrapped gifts at the Public Safety Building or any Auburn Fire Station from Nov. 1 through Dec. 10. The Auburn Toy Drive provides toys for children ages 3-12.

As always, please remember no monetary donations can be accepted. Any purchased gift is greatly appreciated!
