Thank you so much for supporting the Multi-APA Collective Toy Drive over the past 14 years. Asian Pacific American Film - APA Film and NAAAP DC are excited to continue the tradition to get the support of community and APA organizations to collect toys for local youth in the DMV.

We are so grateful for your support and commitment during the holidays in helping make these stressful times a bit less for youth in the DC metro area. We are living through an unprecedented time which requires us to make changes to our toy drive process this year!  As always our focus are the youth and families safe and healthy, and consideration for the well-being of our partners and local community.

We will be donating the toys to local organizations and some of the toys will be donated to DC Mayor's Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs and their efforts to distribute toys to low-income and underserved youth in DC.

Here are the ways you can still help youth this holiday season from the comfort and safety of your home:

• Make an individual online donation to help support the purchase of toys.

• Purchase items from our Wish List directly from Amazon.com. 

  • Be sure to choose OFFICE ON ASIAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER AFFAIRS as your “Ship to” selection.  This will ensure your gift gets to youth in time for the holiday season.

Thank you again for helping to brighten days of local children and families in the DC metro area. While our Virtual Toy Drive is a big change from our normal holiday donation process, your support of young people is extremely meaningful to us – especially now.
