DOVE Toy Drive Breaks Record With 2,063 Toys Collected

This holiday season, the Division of Volunteer Efforts (DOVE) is proud to share a record-setting outcome from this year’s annual Toy Drive. By the conclusion of the campaign, 2,063 new toys were generously donated by members of the Seton Hall community, marking the highest total collected in the drive’s history! This milestone reflects the extraordinary generosity, compassion and collective commitment to service that define the Seton Hall Family.

Each year, the DOVE Toy Drive brings together students, alumni, faculty, staff, families and friends to support children who may otherwise experience the holidays without a gift. Through the donation of new, unwrapped toys and monetary contributions, the drive serves children across New Jersey and in Appalachia, West Virginia.

DOVE extends sincere appreciation to every individual and group who contributed to this year’s success, from donors and families to the many volunteers who dedicated their time to sorting, organizing and distributing toys. Thanks to this collective effort, nearly all donated toys have already been delivered to community partners, ensuring they reached children in need in time for the holidays. The generosity shown through each donation — whether a book, game, puzzle or toy — represents care, dignity and the joy of being remembered.

As we celebrate this record-breaking year, DOVE remains deeply grateful to everyone who made the Toy Drive possible. May this season of giving bring joy, peace, and warmth to our donors, volunteers, community partners and all the children and families they support. Happy Holidays!
