This year marks the 80th Annual Campaign for Columbia Community Service (CCS)  and the 28th Annual CCS Toy Drive. For more than a decade, employees have donated thousands of new, unwrapped toys to help ease the burden on families who are experiencing extreme hardships. During this season of giving, we hope you will join us as we work to increase our toy collection. The drive, which will run from Monday, November 9 through Wednesday, December 16, will support 10 community organizations that work with children. 

Drop off a toy at any of the locations listed below or order from the CCS Amazon Wish List or the CCS Listful Wish List. All toys should be shipped or delivered to: Columbia University, Public Safety Office, Attn: Ricardo Morales, 535 West 116th Street, Rm 111 Low Library, New York, NY, 10027.
