Make the holidays merry and bright for local families
Started by Kiwanis in 1958, the Kiwanis Canby Community Food & Toy Drive is a tradition that brings the entire community together. Civic groups, church groups, scouting troops, businesses and individuals step up to volunteer and donate. In 2024 we served 510 families, with toys for 1,100 children and food for 2,300 people.
This program serves residents who live within the boundaries of the Canby School District and who are not receiving assistance from another holiday program. We coordinate with the county-wide Clackamas Compassion in Action to ensure that everyone in the county gets the help they need. Ours is a totally local event.
We provide gifts for children 0-18 years old without any toys from the Portland TV toy drives or other events outside our community.
People who live alone and adults without children are also eligible for food gift cards. We do not require proof of need – just fill out an application by the deadline and you can receive a food gift card, plus toys and gifts for kids 18 and under.
Applications are now available:
Canby Kiwanis Thrift Store
Canby Adult Center
Canby Public Library
The Canby Center (once it reopens)
Bridging Cultures — office and their Wednesday Food Pantry
In 2025, registered families may pick up their gifts on December 12 at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds. On December 13, we will deliver unclaimed gifts, as long as the recipient is home.
We love the support we get from groups like Bridging Cultures, Canby Rotary, Canby Fire, Canby School District, Cub Scout Pack 503, Boy Scout Troop 258, and Canby High School Key Club. Individuals are also welcome.

Bobbie picked up another full barrel from Backstop Bar & Grill today! A shout-out to employee Art, who has been rallying his coworkers to donate their tips to support the drive. Their teamwork and generosity are making such a big impact for local kids and families.
Thank you, Backstop crew, for filling hearts as fast as you fill that barrel! 💛🎁 Last day to donate toys is December 5th. ... See MoreSee Less
On Cyber Monday we would love your help with one of the most often forgotten groups in our Food & Toy Drive—teens.
Teen gifts can be tricky to shop for, but they make such a big impact. If you’d like an easy way to support, we’ve put together an Amazon list filled with items they’ll love. A quick click can brighten a teen’s holiday! 💙
