Join us for the WRTV Toy Drive benefitting children all across Central Indiana!

The WRTV Toy Drive has served tens of thousands of Hoosier families since 2001 and in 2022 the Toy Drive is on track to be our biggest year ever! WRTV has more festivities and more ways to donate to help more families than ever before! For our 22nd year we will support 8 or more recipient organizations across Central Indiana providing toys for their families in need!

Some of the organizations that we are proud to support are Grace Care Center, Urban Act Academy, Project Angel, Amp Harris Foundation, Churches in Mission, Servants Heart of Indy, Lawrence Firefighters Family Assistance Program and The Chin Community of Indiana.

Our community needs your help more than ever. You have multiple ways to give, ensuring families and children across Central Indiana will have a wonderful surprise and beautiful gifts this holiday season.

This campaign is a WRTV initiative in collaboration with the Scripps Howard Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to this campaign will be used to support the local Indianapolis area and are tax deductible.
