Toys for Tots Idaho faces toy shortage as demand surges
Toys for Tots Idaho is experiencing a significant increase in demand this year, with more children on their list than last year.
Currently, 8,400 children are still awaiting toys, and the list is growing by a few hundred each day.
The organization is in urgent need of toy donations to meet the needs of these children.
The organization has provided toys to 25,546 children so far in 2025, surpassing the 25,436 children supported in 2024.
They aim to give each child at least one toy, two stocking stuffers, a teddy bear, and a book.
Donations can be made at Idaho’s Largest Toy Drive taking place at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Meridian daily from 6am to 6pm.
Donations can also be made through their Amazon wish list, accessible via their website, ToysforTotsIdaho.com, with toys shipped directly to their warehouse.
