Christmas Toys
We aim to distribute high-quality name brand toys for children ages 0-10 years. Bring your children and they will also be entered into our drawing for a free bicycle.
We don’t just give away free toys; we bring the joy of Christmas to families through an unforgettable, magical event featuring an entertainment show with Santa, characters, candy, singing, dancing, and bicycle raffles!
Some parents have hardships that many children cannot see. We’re here to help lighten that load and bring joy to families.

Families have discovered our standard of excellence through the quality of the toys we distribute. This is why we’ve witnessed families line up overnight for this event.
Our mission began in 1996. We aim to reach as many children as possible in San Antonio who would not have a merry Christmas because of family financial woes or other challenges.

Sponsor entertainment for the children such as face painting, balloons, games, music, etc.

We got involved by hosting gift wrapping sessions. Our company donated financially for every hour each store employee volunteered. The day of event was so heart wrenching and the smiles were priceless.

“A few years ago, we started looking for worthwhile volunteer opportunities. We began volunteering with Jarel's Toy Chest in December of 2009 and the rest is history. We have all met so many wonderful people and have made new friendships with other volunteers.”
