Donate Toys to Children with ASD this Holiday Season

The Center for Autism’s 2022 Holiday Giving Program
We invite you to make this holiday season special for the children and families we serve by helping us give a gift to the children in our programs. In addition to caring for a child with autism, over 70% of the families we serve live in poverty. We hope that you, your co-workers, family, and friends will participate!

Amazon or Monetary Donations

The Social Competency team has curated a list of toys we know our kids will absolutely love! If you are interested in donating a toy, please visit the following website to see our Amazon Wish List:

Items will be sent directly to the Center. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please contact Morgan Segal at 215-695-4311 or msegal@cfa.phmc.org. We request that donations are received no later than Thursday, December 15, 2022.

Host a Toy Drive / Donate Toys
Each holiday season, the Center gives each child in our programs a present. Each toy is hand selected for that child, wrapped and given to them when Santa comes to visit. For many, this may be one of very few gifts that they receive. As we have over 400 children in our programs, your support in donating a toy or hosting a toy drive is extremely appreciated. If you would like to host a drive, we can provide you with materials to help in your collection efforts. We kindly request that your toy donations meet the criteria outlined as follows:

– New & unwrapped toys, games, books & activities
– Boys & girls
– Ages 2 through 16 years old
– Due to allergies, no stuffed animals please

Make a Monetary Donation
Restricted donations designated to the Holiday Giving Program will help us purchase additional toys so that all of the children will receive a gift. Checks can be made payable to The Center for Autism re: Holiday Giving Program and mailed to The Center for Autism, 4601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19139. We also accept credit card donations over the phone by calling 215-878-3400 or online at www.thecenterforautism.org/donate.
