Every child deserves a toy at the holidays. Unfortunately, not every family can provide that holiday cheer.

The Columbus Blue Jackets, in partnership with WBNS-10TV, are asking fans to support The Salvation Army of Central Ohio's efforts to brighten the holidays for local families in need. The Salvation Army operates central Ohio's largest holiday toy and food distribution program. They provide food and toys to nearly 8,000 families over a two-day period. Christmas Cheer provides a true holiday experience for families that may need a little help this time of year. The toy drive gives that program a big boost by offering the 5th Line a chance to provide the toys the Salvation Army will give away in its Christmas Cheer program in mid-December.

How To Donate

Fans coming to the December 8th game against the St. Louis Blues or December 10th against the Florida Panthers are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy. Before the game, toys will be accepted by volunteers outside the arena entrances. Fans who donate that night will receive a voucher redeemable for a pair of tickets to an upcoming home game. (Offer limited to one per household)

If fans are not able to join us for the game they can drop off toys from November 16 to December 10 at any OhioHealth Chiller Ice Rink located in Easton, Dublin, and North or at the Blue Line stores located at Nationwide Arena and Polaris Fashion Place.
