Student Parent Toy Drive
Thank you for your interest in learning more about our annual Toy Drive! Throughout
November, the Eberly Center will be collecting new, unopened toys to help our student
parents celebrate the holidays with their children. Students, staff, faculty, and
community members are encouraged to drop off a new, unopened toy at one of our donation
sites on Main or Health Science Campus starting on November 3, 2025 through November
28, 2025.
All of the toys donated will benefit UToledo student parents and their children through the Holiday Toy Exchange in December.
Thank you for helping your fellow Rockets and their families celebrate the holidays!
UToledo Student Parents can register for the Holiday Toy Exchange until December 2, 2025.
