Special Notes:

- These messages will be updated throughout the 2024 season, so be sure to check this website frequently as your questions may be answered, or dates may change in this correspondence. To include this website and the social media platform(s) below are the only OFFICIAL site(s) to receive information from the Phoenix Toys For Tots Campaign.
- Requirements for toy pickup are to have the approval email with the control number, a state or government ID of the parent/guardian/agency who submitted the application, and finally, proof of the child(ren) such as student ID/report card/court orders/shot records with their names. Additional forms of ID, but not recommended unless necessary, are vital records. All names MUST match on all forms of identification.
- Children are not allowed in the warehouse.
- If someone else is picking up toys on your behalf, the receiving party must have all the forms mentioned above.
- There are no exceptions, and there is ample time to meet these requirements before receiving toys.
- I HIGHLY encourage you to annotate any comments to best suit your child(ren)'s toys to their needs/preferences (e.g., sensory toys for special needs or sports balls)
- Si Hablamos.
