About TOYS FOR JOY INC

Toys for Joy Inc. is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) charitable program, founded in 1986 by the North Metro REALTORS® Association, that provides toys and holiday food support to families in need across Anoka County, Minnesota. The program operates through year-round fundraising, community drop sites and a large annual holiday distribution (warehouse-style shopping appointments) staffed by volunteers and local partners. In recent years Toys for Joy has remained active in the community with organized distributions (for example a December 2024 distribution at the Anoka Armory), municipal partner events and steadily growing financial resources that support its annual holiday efforts.
