Season of Smiles: California Toy Giveaway

Hosted by Disney, LAPD, and One Step Closer Foundation

Date: Wed., October 4th, 2023

The California Toy Giveaway, a collaboration between the LAPD, Disney, and One Step Closer Foundation, is a heartwarming initiative that brought joy and excitement to over 1000 children across the state, with a special focus on those facing challenging circumstances. This collaborative effort engaged schools and hospitals to identify and reach out to children in need of extra cheer.

Throughout the year, culminating in a grand event during the holiday season, this unique partnership organized events where LAPD Officers, Disney, and other volunteers distributed a wide array of toys, games, and books. These efforts brightened the lives of a significant number of young individuals. The aim was to provide not only a moment of happiness but also to instill a sense of hope and possibility. The delivery of these gifts was a powerful message to the children and their families, showing them that their community, along with esteemed organizations like the LAPD and Disney, cares, supports, and thinks of them.

This program transcended the typical toy giveaway; it was a means to foster inclusivity, kindness, and the joy of giving on a grand scale, ensuring every participating child felt valued and special.
