Eastie’s Elves Toy Drive & Celebration

We are excited to host the 20th Annual Eastie's Elves celebration, taking place on Friday, December 15th at 6pm at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor! The evening will include a buffet-style meal, a performance by 7 Day Weekend band, and our annual raffle. Admission to the event consists of donating one unwrapped toy for a child in need. With your support and participation, we hope to continue our tradition of brightening the holidays for families.

Additionally, our toy drive will host collection boxes throughout East Boston, Winthrop, and Revere from Thursday, November 30th to Wednesday, December 13th. All drop off locations will be shared in the coming weeks- we hope you can take time this holiday season to stop by a collection box and donate new, unwrapped children’s toys!

Eastie’s Elves is an annual toy drive that culminates in a holiday gala for the community. Since this tradition began in 2004 by former State Senator Anthony Petrucelli, we have had more than 500 attendees participate each year, which has resulted in over 10,000 holiday gifts being donated to families in need. In partnership with local community organizations, these gifts are then distributed to children of all ages throughout the neighborhoods of East Boston, Winthrop, and Revere. To conclude the large-scale toy drive, we invite our community members to gather at the Hyatt for an evening of entertainment, food, dancing, and holiday festivities. We are honored to continue Eastie’s Elves to brighten the holiday season for families in need.
