Holiday Toy Drive 2025: Help Fill Belle Grove Elementary's Holiday Toy Shop

Spreading Holiday Magic With Belle Grove Elementary

The holiday season is here, and our team is excited once again to support Belle Grove Elementary School's Holiday Toy Shop. Partnering with this school has become one of our favorite traditions, and we are so grateful for the chance to help bring a little extra joy to local families.

Belle Grove Elementary serves many students from underserved communities in Northern Anne Arundel County, and a large percentage of families participate in the free and reduced lunch program. The Holiday Toy Shop gives parents and caregivers the chance to choose gifts for their children at a very low cost, which helps preserve dignity while still creating plenty of holiday magic at home.

All proceeds from the Toy Shop support Belle Grove's Positive Behavior Program, which celebrates students for making good choices and helps create a warm, encouraging school environment.

How You Can Help Fill the Toy Shop

There are several simple ways to get involved and make a real difference for Belle Grove students this year:

• Donate new, unwrapped toys: Think games, dolls, sports gear, arts and crafts, Legos, books, and other fun surprises for kids of all ages.
• Give a gift card: Gift cards of $10 or more to major retailers are incredibly helpful and allow the school to round out their selection of gifts.
• Add a little extra to your cart: While you are out doing your own holiday shopping, grab one extra toy or gift card for a Belle Grove student.
• Let our team handle delivery: If it is easier, we are happy to collect your donations and deliver them to the school on your behalf. Just reach out and we will coordinate a pickup.
• Spread the word: Tell friends, neighbors, coworkers, or your favorite local groups so we can multiply the impact together.

When And Where To Donate

We will be collecting toys and gift cards throughout the holiday season, with all donations delivered to Belle Grove Elementary in time for their Holiday Toy Shop.

You can bring a toy to our holiday happy hour or contact us to arrange a convenient porch pickup or drop off. If you have questions about what to donate or how to get items to us, we are just a call, text, or email away.

Why This Tradition Matters

As a local real estate team, our work is about more than homes. It is about the people, stories, and futures inside those homes and in our schools and neighborhoods. Supporting Belle Grove Elementary's Holiday Toy Shop is one small way we can come together as a community to show families that they are seen, valued, and supported.

Every toy, gift card, and shared social post adds up. Together we can help fill the Toy Shop, support the school's Positive Behavior Program, and make sure students at Belle Grove feel the joy and excitement that every child deserves during the holidays.
