ConnCORP, a nonprofit organization focused on uplifting New Haven residents, is teaming up with the New Haven Police Department for its 2nd Annual Christmas Toy Giveaway. Together, they’re working to make sure kids in families who are struggling still get to wake up to something special under the tree this year.
The toy giveaway is designed for local families who may be feeling the pinch of higher costs, unexpected bills, or a tough season in general. Instead of letting the holidays pass by quietly, ConnCORP and New Haven police are turning it into a moment of community, dignity, and joy. Parents and caretakers will be able to pick up toys at no cost, thanks to donated gifts and community support.
Beyond the toys themselves, this event is about connection. It’s an opportunity for families to meet the people working on their behalf year-round—officers, organizers, and neighbors who believe every child deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and included during the holidays. It’s also a reminder that when local organizations and public safety partners pull in the same direction, the whole city feels the impact.

The holidays can be a heavy time for parents doing everything they can just to keep the lights on. ConnCORP’s Christmas Toy Giveaway is one small way our community can say, “You’re not alone—and your kids matter.” If you’re able, consider supporting the effort or letting a family know this resource is available to them this season.
