At Maxie’s Grill & Taproom, we believe the holidays are brighter when everyone has a reason to feel remembered. This season, we’re proud to support the 2026 Moore County Toys for Tots campaign—and we’re asking our community to help with some of the gifts that can be easy to overlook.

The campaign has a particular need for toys for infants and toddlers, ages 0–2, and tweens and teens, ages 10–16. These age groups can be harder to shop for, and donations for them are often in shorter supply. A thoughtfully chosen toy, game, book, or creative activity can help a child feel included and celebrated.

For babies and toddlers, consider age-appropriate toys that encourage play and discovery. For tweens and teens, think about gifts that reflect their interests, invite creativity, or give them something fun to enjoy with friends and family. Every child is different, but every child deserves the joy of opening a gift chosen with care.

If you’re able, please consider adding one of these age groups to your holiday shopping list. Donations should be new and unwrapped; clothing, food, and weapons are not accepted. Toys can be dropped off at Maxie’s through December 15, 2026.

Can’t make it to Maxie’s to donate? You can still support the campaign with an online donation. CLICK HERE

A single gift—or contribution—may seem small, but it can send a powerful message to a child: Someone thought of me. I belong. I matter.

Thank you for helping us share that message throughout Moore County. ❤️
