24th Annual Toybox Campaign

The Toybox provides new toys and gifts to underprivileged children in our area. Each year we partner with the Salvation Army, U.S. Army, churches, businesses and other agencies in the Four States.

The deadline to donate to this year's Toybox is December 11.

Please make checks payable to "KOAM-TV Toybox" and mail them to:

Drop off locations

Any new toy or gift is accepted. Toys may be dropped off at the KOAM studios in Pittsburg or Joplin or our partner locations listed below.

Cash donations are also accepted and will be used to purchase new toys for Toybox. Financial contributions may be made through checks, cash, credit card, or Electronic Funds Transfer (debit card). A charitable receipt may be requested and will be provided by The Salvation Army or other 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.

Used or soiled toys will not be used for the Toybox Campaign but may be donated separately to an agency. Due to allergens, donations of used toys &/or stuffed animals are discouraged.

There is always a great need for gifts for teenagers like current video games, mp3 players, personal compact disc players, make-up, etc.

Apply for Toybox assistance

Enrollment for this year's Toybox assistance is closed. Families are encouraged to pre-register for Thanksgiving & Christmas holiday assistance, usually during the first three weeks of November. The toys are given to the families with time to wrap the toys themselves to ensure the child gets a special gift!
