Want to brighten a child’s holiday this year?

MilVet invites the community to take part in the annual Holidays for Heroes Toy Drive and Event running now through December 20. Southern California residents are joining forces to collect new, unwrapped toys, clothing, and gift cards for children and teens (ages 0-17) of local Military and Veteran families in Riverside County. Individuals can support by sponsoring, dropping off a toy at a drop-off location, or adopting and shopping from a child’s wish list found at www.milvet.org/santa.

Donations are accepted daily during regular business hours at more than 60 local drop-off locations through December 18, 2025.

Veteran Families may register for gifts may do so at www.milvet.org/santa through December 10 and must provide proof of service and residency.

Toy distribution will take place on Saturday, December 20 in Murrieta. The event will feature photos with Santa, the Grinch, crafts, food, snacks, resources and much more.
