VOLUNTEER
Help support families in Maine by volunteering for the Portland Press Herald Toy Fund. Volunteers unpack, sort and bag gifts according to the age and gender of each child. Some people have volunteered for the Toy Fund for decades.
Volunteers must be 18 or older, and work usually begins in mid-November. Volunteers generally work 3-6 hours on days they are available.
Thanks for your interest. Our volunteer slots are full for 2025. Please check back next year.
JOIN A FUNDRAISING EFFORT
Since the early days, groups of people have gathered together to raise money for the Toy Fund. Friends challenge each other to make a donation. Relatives pool their resources to donate as a family or in memory of a loved one. Businesses take up collections to benefit the cause.
Donors’ names and dedications are published in the newspaper, at pressherald.com.
However you may help, let us know so that we can share your event. Every little bit helps bring joy to children from York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and Androscoggin counties!

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
