WHAT: Operation Military Smiles Toy Shop – a Military Friends Foundation Program
This program is active duty military, reserves, veterans, and Gold Star Families with children ages 2-10 years old. Please note Toy Shops are open to adults only so you can come and shop for your special kids. Servicemembers and Veterans must bring a military ID, Veterans ID or dependent ID to participate.
Military Friends Foundation, 501(c)3 partnered with Families of Fallen Service Members in 2010 to create the “Operation Military Smiles” program. The purpose of the program is to put a little extra “smile” into the lives of local service members and veterans through yearly toy giveaways. Operation Military Smiles hosts toy drives across the state each year and toys and gift cards are then made available for families at traveling Operation Military Smiles Toy Shops. To date, Operation Military Smiles donated over 100,000 toys to military families.
WHEN: Sunday, December 14, 2025. Doors open at 11AM and the event will run until 1PM. Please note toys are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
