Prior to COVID, Boston’s annual Toys for Joys — one of the brightest, feel-good shindigs on the LGBTQA calendar — drew hundreds who together purchased over $100,000 worth of gifts each year to help less fortunate families during the holidays.

The good news is that COVID didn’t slow down the gifting. Last year alone, they collected and distributed over 8,000 gifts!

Now in 2024, they’ve been working hard to gather gifts and get them out now … but it’s not too late to make a donation to help T4J Santa complete the big job!

Here are ways you can play Santa’s elves and donate:

1. Zelle (preferred…no fees): james@toys4joys.org
