Here are some connections for the toy drop off. Let me know if you need me to connect your team at time of drop off, or someone from the team can:
Marine Corps Reserve: Toys for Tots: 401-749-9448. They will come pick up the toys and take a picture with the students (marines)...this could be a cool thing for social media! The last time I coordinated this, they came to BACS and we took pictures - they will pick up the toys and supply all signs, boxes, etc...Here is the person I spoke with at the time...they may have someone different now:

Activities and Toys
We can accept only donations of brand-NEW toys and activities that have been purchased within the last three months. Even if items appear clean or have never been played with, they may have been exposed to dust, pets, and bacteria. Due to our patients’ fragile immune systems, we cannot accept gently used or previously owned toys, games, and stuffed animals. Please note that we cannot accept soft toys that have been in someone's possession (collection, storage, display, etc.), even if they've never been played with.
We can accept toys and activities for infants through teens. Before donating, please review our age-based donation suggestions (PDF).
We also have Amazon wish lists; please visit our Amazon wish list page to see some of our high-needs items.

To coordinate a drop off, contact Mike Vieira at mvieira@massri.wish.org / I called, and the woman was very nice. She said Mike would take care of specifics with you and your students.

Goodwill of Southern New England - they usually 'sell' items but said they've had toy drop-offs before and use vouchers to give them to families in need. I say use this as a last resort.
