Disney and Toys for Tots need your help making spirits bright

CYPRESS, Texas (KTRK) -- There's still time to join ABC13 and Disney in making holiday magic for Houston-area children by supporting the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive now through Dec. 24.

Through this annual drive, toy donations are collected for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program, an enduring partnership that started with Walt Disney himself more than 75 years ago.

In 1947, Walt Disney and his animators personally designed the original Toys for Tots train logo that is still used today.

Since that time, Disney has donated millions of toys to families across the U.S.

During the drive, Staff Sergeant Kevin Padilla and Sergeant Juan Garcia volunteered at the Disney Store inside the Houston Premium Outlets to greet families and help make a final push for toys to children in need.

While the in-store collection has ended, you can still donate a toy online at DisneyStore.com/ToyDrive through Dec. 24, 2025.

In addition, the Walt Disney Company announced that it will again give 5,000 toys to Toys for Tots in Houston.

Learn more how about you can make someone's holiday magic no matter where you are!

And check out how our local Disney store did just that in 2024 as featured in the clip in the video player above.
