Our offices are closed to in-person visits due to the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, we are unable to host our annual public toy drop-off for Toys for Tots. After so many years of collecting toys, we are saddened that we can’t do so. However, we encourage you to continue to support Toys for Tots and want to share information to help you find ways to donate because this year, more than ever, kids and families need help. Make your donation early so that toys can be delivered.  Ideally, donate by December 9th.

Where you can donate toys locally

There are still many public drop-off points across Massachusetts and throughout the country, and we encourage you to find a location and make a donation. Murphy Insurance staff will be conducting our own internal toy drive and getting them to Toys for Tots. We hope you’ll join us!
