Help make our 2022 SEIU 1021 toy drive a success for Bay Area families
Join SEIU 1021, IFPTE Local 21, and nonprofit community partners
around Northern California in filling up a school bus (gracefully
loaned from Hayward Unified School District) with thousands of
toys for children in underserved communities. In the past five
years alone, the SEIU 1021 Toy Drive has successfully collected
and distributed more than 10,000 toys. Due to the effects of the
pandemic and inflation, we anticipate this year’s requests for
toys will be higher than ever, so please contribute if you’re
able.
