It’s a busy time of year—at home, in schools and in organizations across the country. Thankfully, it only takes a moment to engage youth in service and a moment more to double their impact.
For every young person caring, sharing and giving back to their community this holiday season, Hasbro will donate a toy to Toys for Tots—up to 100,000 toys. To be a Joy Maker, all you have to do is share how many young people are serving, what they’re doing and in what state. It’s that easy.

Happy Valentines Day!
Maybe you have embraced this day, maybe you resent this day, whatever the case, today is a day to celebrate and spread love- why not think about it as a day to spread kindness? And what better way to do that then by volunteering?
