Concord, NH – New Hampshire residents are being encouraged to help children in need this holiday season as the New Hampshire State Police launch their annual Toys for Tots campaign today. The statewide toy drive runs through Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, with troopers partnering with local businesses, community groups, and agencies to collect new, unwrapped toys.
According to the New Hampshire State Police, donation events and collection points will operate across multiple regions throughout the next several weeks. Troopers will collaborate with participating businesses to “fill the cruiser” with toys that will later be distributed to children across the state through the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.
This year’s campaign focuses on expanding access to donation sites to ensure families from rural and urban communities can participate. State Police officials said the goal is to help support as many households as possible during the holiday season, especially as need continues to rise in parts of Merrimack County, Rockingham County, and the Lakes Region.
Several New Hampshire State Police barracks, along with designated retail partners, will accept toy drop-offs during normal business hours. Residents can also attend scheduled weekend events where troopers will be present to collect donations and engage with families.
Organizers encourage donors to consider gifts for children of all ages, including older kids and teens who often receive fewer items. All toys collected will be delivered to children across New Hampshire before Christmas week.
More information, including event locations and collection times, is available on the New Hampshire State Police website.
