Bringing Holiday Joy to Local Families

A little generosity can make a lasting difference.

For many families, the holidays bring excitement and anticipation. For others, providing gifts and essentials for their children can be an added challenge during an already difficult time. Each year, Pettinelli Financial Partners brings our community together to help make the season brighter for local families through our annual St. Anthony’s Toy Drive.

What makes this effort special is what we can accomplish together. With the generosity of our clients, colleagues, friends, and community partners, we help put holiday gifts into the hands of families who might otherwise go without.

A Community Effort Making a Difference

Year after year, our toy drive continues to grow because of the people who believe in its purpose.

In our most recent drive, we collected more than 1,000 toys and helped nearly 1,000 families celebrate the holidays. Each donation represented an opportunity to bring a smile to a child's face and provide a little extra support to a family in our community.

We are proud to continue this tradition and grateful to everyone who contributes their time, resources, and generosity to make it possible.

How You Can Help

Our annual toy drive collects new, unwrapped toys and baby supplies to support local families served through St. Anthony’s Padua Dining Room and the Redwood City Police Activities League.

Whether you choose a toy for a young child, a gift for an older child, or essential supplies for a new baby, your contribution helps make the holidays a little brighter for families throughout our community.

Ways to participate:

• Donate a toy: Choose a new, unwrapped gift for a child.
• Contribute baby supplies: Help provide essentials for families with infants and young children.
• Spread the word: Share the toy drive with friends, family, and colleagues who may want to participate.

Every contribution, large or small, helps support this community-wide effort.

Powered by Community

This initiative is made possible through the generosity of our clients, friends, and colleagues, along with the support of our community partners, including Belmont-Redwood Shores Rotary, Footsteps Childcare Interact Club, and Golden State Hauling & Demolition.

We are especially grateful to St. Anthony’s Padua Dining Room & the Redwood City Police Activities League for their connection to the families we serve. Working together allows us to extend our reach and help bring holiday cheer to households throughout our local community.

Help Us Make the Holidays Brighter

At Pettinelli Financial Partners, we believe community is built through relationships, generosity, and a willingness to show up for one another. Our annual toy drive is one way we put that belief into action.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this tradition what it is today. With your continued support, we can bring more joy to local families and make another holiday season a little brighter.
