California Credit Union Spreads Holiday Cheer with Annual Toy Drive in Los Angeles

California Credit Union's Holiday Toy Drive 2025

California Credit Union is excited to announce its annual Holiday Toy Drive, running until December 6, 2025. This initiative, in collaboration with the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club, aims to bring joy and smiles to local children and families during the festive season. As the holidays approach, community members are encouraged to participate by donating new, unwrapped toys at any California Credit Union branch located in Los Angeles or Orange County.

The collection will accept toys suitable for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens up to 17 years old. These donations will be distributed during the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club's annual holiday celebration, set to take place on December 16, where families involved with the club will receive their gifts. The spirit of giving during the holiday season can create a significant impact – something as simple as one toy donated can change a child's holiday experience dramatically.

In a statement, California Credit Union's President and CEO, Steve O'Connell, emphasized the importance of community involvement: "The holidays are a time of joy for every child. We invite our members and neighbors to join us in bringing smiles and a little holiday magic to children in our communities."

The Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club is dedicated to inspiring and empowering youth, particularly those facing disadvantages. By providing a safe and supportive environment, they help kids and teens develop essential skills through various programs, including gang prevention, wellness education, arts, and physical fitness. This year, they aim to serve families throughout Northeast Los Angeles, ensuring that every child experiences the joy of receiving gifts during the holiday season.

For those interested in supporting this noble cause, a list of participating California Credit Union branches can be found on their website.
