Share Warmth and Joy: Holiday Food, Toy, and Coat Drives

Posted on 11/13/2025

This holiday season, the City of New Hope is inviting the community to help local families through its annual holiday drives.

You can make a difference by donating new, unopened non-perishable food items, new toys, or new and gently used coats in all sizes. Food donations can be dropped off at City Hall, and cash contributions are also welcome at the front counter. All food will benefit NEAR and will be distributed to families before the holidays. Toys and coats can be dropped off in the Police Department lobby. Toy donations are accepted through Dec.12 to support the Blue Santa program, and coat donations are accepted through Dec. 14 for delivery to the Salvation Army.

City Hall is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the Police Department lobby is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Let’s come together this season to share warmth, joy and kindness with our neighbors!
