Top Rockland County Toy Drives and Charities to Support this Year

Receiving gifts during the holidays is fun, but there's no better feeling than giving back by donating to a charitable cause. There are many ways to help those in need in Rockland County and Bergen County this season. Toy drives, coat drives, soup kitchens and even home crafting are just a few ways you give back and support communities. So add donating time, gifts, or money to those less fortunate to your list of holiday activities  this year -- after buying a Christmas tree, lighting a menorah, holiday shopping, seeing the Nutcracker or meeting Santa. Browse our guide below to find opportunities for kids, families and individuals to help make a difference this holiday season .
