Local Community Rallies Around Children in Need Through Disney's Ultimate Toy Drive
As the holiday season approaches, a special partnership between ABC13 and Disney is making waves across the Houston area, bringing joy to local children in need. The Disney Ultimate Toy Drive, now open through December 24th, aims to collect toys for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program, an initiative that has been a cornerstone of Disney's philanthropic efforts for over 75 years.
Since its inception in 1947, when Walt Disney and his animators designed the iconic Toys for Tots train logo, the company has made a commitment to donating millions of toys to families across the United States. This year, Disney is once again stepping up to support the program, with a pledge of 5,000 new toys to be distributed to children in need.
Residents can participate by donating a new, unwrapped toy at designated drop-off locations, including the Disney Store inside the Houston Premium Outlets, or online through DisneyStore.com/ToyDrive. The online drive is open until December 24th, while in-person donations are accepted until December 14th.
The impact of this initiative is already being felt, with last year's campaign at the local Disney store yielding a staggering array of gifts for children. As one donor shared their experience, "It was incredible to see the joy on the children's faces when they received their presents... It truly made someone's holiday magic."
By supporting the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive, individuals can help bring happiness and hope to families in need during the holiday season. Whether donating a toy or spreading the word about this important initiative, every effort counts towards making a difference in the lives of these deserving children.
As for those looking to get involved, there are plenty of ways to make a positive impact. From online donations to in-person drop-offs, there's no shortage of opportunities to lend a helping hand. So why not join forces with Disney and ABC13 to spread some holiday cheer this year? Together, we can create a brighter future for families in need.

I think it's really cool that Disney is teaming up with ABC13 to bring toys to kids who don't have much. It's awesome that they're committing 5k new toys to the cause! 
The fact that people are already sharing their experiences and seeing the joy on the kids' faces when they get their presents is just the best 
. I'm a bit surprised that the online drive isn't open longer, though - I mean, who doesn't love shopping from home? 
Still, December 24th is just around the corner, so let's make sure to get our donations in on time! 
I AM SO DOWN FOR THIS!!! IT'S AMAZING TO SEE DISNEY STEPPING UP TO SUPPORT THE U.S. MARINE CORPS RESERVE'S TOYS FOR TOTS PROGRAM!!! 5,000 NEW TOYS THAT'S A LOT OF JOY!!!

! It's so heartwarming to see a community come together to make a difference in people's lives. I've got a soft spot for kids who might not get the same gifts as everyone else, you know? The fact that they can receive new toys just because someone donates them is truly magical
