Have Fun Shopping
This is the fun part! Many of our past donors have mentioned the amount of fun they have picking out gifts for the children. They’ve even included their own children in the process and made it a family event.
Bring It Back Unwrapped
Please visit the location you originally selected your ornament from and deliver the gift unwrapped. We also ask that you attach the original ornament to the gift, ensuring we deliver the gift to the correct child.

About the Awesome Toy Drive
What started as a simple gesture of thanks by helping a few underprivileged youths in the area, has blossomed into a mission to help as many as possible.
He set his sights on only collecting 20 gifts, fearing he may not be able to achieve his goal and would ultimately purchase all the gifts himself. A few hours into his first day of collecting he knew he was wrong. After contacting CONCERN numerous times for more names of children, and utilizing social media, he was able to end the season with 150 gifts collected.
When the 2021 holiday season came around, Freddy decided to kick the toy drive up a notch and give it a name and a higher goal. Now known as the Awesome Toy Drive, this incredible effort has collected over 4,000 toys since its inception, supporting various organizations and children throughout the area. With each passing season, the goal is to continue doubling the previous year’s total, bringing even more joy to children in need. Let’s hope 2024 is our best year yet!
“I’ve been very blessed in my life and the only way I know how to thank the universe for giving me so much is by giving even more back, and when it comes to children, I’m all in. My goal is to collect for thousands of children in the years to come and beyond my time here on Earth.” – Freddy Vasquez
