Empowering Youth.

General gift drives bring wonderful toys & books for kids and there are some amazing toy drives in our communities. But there is a need for one focused on high-quality STEM-Themed gifts for older kids.

We’re increasing equitable access to toys, games, and books that will inspire and prepare at-risk youth for STEM hobbies & careers. Make a difference with us as a volunteer, sponsor, gift drive host, or donor!

All gifts go directly to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. Gifts may be given directly as gifts to youth or may be used as prizes or activities in the Boys & Girls Clubs STEM Program, at the discretion of the Boys and Girls Clubs. Gifts are distributed throughout Central Florida to the 40 clubs across the region.

2024 Biggest Year Ever - 595 Gifts!

2024 Impact: 595 Gifts and $250

Chart Notes:  2014-2018 this was a project within a small non-profit organization. 2014 was a general holiday drive mostly for bikes. In 2015 we established this as a STEM Gift Drive. In 2019 the non-profit closed and 2020 was Covid. In 2021 we re-ignited this project and in 2025 we will establish our own non-profit specifically for the STEM Gift Drive.
