This holiday season, WMAR‑2 News is teaming up with Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for our Holiday Toy Drive, helping bring joy to young patients and their families. We’re collecting new toys for Christmas in Baltimore, especially for hospitalized children and their siblings, so families can “shop” for free during difficult times. From infant and toddler toy donation ideas to teen gift donations and everything in between, your generosity will make the season brighter for kids in Baltimore and across Maryland. 🎁
The toys must be new, cannot be toys that look like weapons or have violent themes, and must not have latex.
Drop off new, unwrapped toys in Baltimore at:
📍 WMAR 6400 York Road, Baltimore, MD 21212
Look for our holiday charity drop‑off outside the lobby for easy giving.
📍Jimmy The Boxer Auto Mall: 4212 Ridge Rd, Nottingham, MD 21236
📍The Elkridge Furnace Inn: 5745 Furnace Ave, Elkridge, MD 21075
📍Northrop Realty: Any Northrop location, preferably 12230 Clarksville Pike, Suite A, Clarksville, MD 21029
