Nashville residents have a specific window to donate new toys to local children in need. The collection event, known as Toy Field, takes place on Tuesday, December 8. Donors can drop off items from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Nissan Stadium, located at 1 Titans Way. The drop-off point is Lot K on the southern side of the stadium, accessible from Victory Lane.
This is the 19th annual Toy Field event. Cumulus Media Nashville is partnering with The Salvation Army Nashville’s Forgotten Angels Program for the collection. The goal is to provide gifts for thousands of area children and families who require assistance during the holiday season. The event accepts new toys for kids of all ages.
Major Stephanie Mockabee, Area Commander for The Salvation Army Nashville Area Command, explained the purpose of the drive. She stated that Toy Field helps ensure no child is forgotten at Christmas. Mockabee noted that some Angel Tree gifts are not returned or that children’s needs must be filled at the last minute. The toys collected through this event provide resources to fill those gaps. This allows the team to ensure every child they serve has gifts waiting for them on Christmas morning.
Mockabee described the event as a community coming together. She said the effort helps ensure every child feels seen, remembered, and cared for. The program focuses on closing the gap between identified needs and available gifts for the holiday season.
Allison Warren, Vice President of Cumulus Media Nashville, emphasized the impact on local children. She said many kids in the community will not have the same holiday experience that others take for granted without help. Warren stated that the event aims to provide a childlike moment of joy, surprise, and wonder. She noted that Cumulus listeners, partners, and neighbors continue to support the Forgotten Angel program year after year.
Warren described seeing Nissan Stadium filled with toys as a powerful reminder of community purpose. She said when a community comes together with a shared purpose, extraordinary things can happen. The event relies on curbside donations to streamline the process for donors.
