Mom Registration

We invite local single moms and mothers facing financial hardship to join us for a special, free Christmas shopping experience on Sunday, December 13, 2026!

Inspired by Michelle’s kindness, we want to help moms who may be struggling to make Christmas happen for their children. Whether you’re raising your children on your own, going through a difficult season, or simply don’t have the support you need, we hope to make Christmas a little easier.

Each registered mom will have the opportunity to personally choose three Christmas gifts per child, at no cost.

To make the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible, moms will receive an assigned arrival time before the event. This is a moms-only shopping experience, so we kindly ask that children stay home.

Registration is first come, first served until spots are full.

Our Mission

Spreading kindness, honoring Michelle, and making Christmas brighter.

Michelle’s Toy Drive was created in loving memory of Michelle Walters, a woman whose kindness and generosity made a lasting impact on those around her.

Inspired by Michelle’s giving heart and the kindness she once showed Maria, we’re continuing her legacy by helping local single moms and families facing financial hardship make Christmas special for their children.

Today, Michelle’s Toy Drive carries on that same tradition by bringing our community together to support moms who may be facing difficult circumstances or simply don’t have the support system they need.

Our goal is to give moms the same experience Michelle gave Maria: the opportunity to personally choose gifts for their own children, knowing someone cares and they’re not alone.

We hope to continue growing Michelle’s Toy Drive each year, spreading kindness, bringing families together, and keeping Michelle’s memory alive.

A Little Giving Goes a Long Way.
