Collection efforts and sites are needed all across the city. You can collect toys in your neighborhood, in your office or business or even as a service project. Then drop off your toys to us at our David L. Lawrence Convention Center, 1000 Ft. Duquesne Blvd.; Pittsburgh, PA 15222 (West Hall) December 11th through December 14th. Let us know you are collecting so we can make sure to thank you. You may also have your information listed on our website under drop off locations to promote your community service with Play it Forward Pittsburgh.
We have reached our final week of Play it Forward Pittsburgh. We would like to thank all of our businesses and organziations that have served as a collection site for our 2016 toy drive. If you would still like to donate, you may bring individual donations directly to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. We ask that you please have your items sorted and tagged. Thank you!
