Donated toys piled up on a set of decorated stairs of the Alumni House.

This year marks a milestone at UNCG Greensboro—the 10th anniversary of the Toys for Joy campaign. For a decade, Chancellor and Mrs. Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. have led our community in sharing hope and happiness with local children. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, and together, we can make this year’s celebration the most memorable yet.

Date: Tuesday, Dec. 9
Time: 5–7 p.m.
Location: Marcus T. Johnson Alumni House

Directional signs will be located along Spring Garden Street. To drop off your donations, turn onto Woman’s College Way, off Spring Garden Street. Follow until you turn onto College Avenue, proceeding to the steps of the Marcus T. Johnson Alumni House. Volunteers will collect your donation from your vehicle.

How You Can Help

  • Bring a new, unwrapped toy for children ages 6–16. 
  • If you can’t join us in person, shop from our Amazon Wish List and send a gift directly to Johnson Alumni House.

Every toy you give is more than just a present; it’s a message of hope and kindness that will light up a child’s holiday. Thank you for opening your heart and making a difference this season, and for being part of ten wonderful years of generosity.
