We're getting ready for Merry Memories - Austin's largest toy giveaway!

Merry Memories is almost here—and we can't wait to make this year’s celebration the most awesome one yet! As Austin’s largest toy giveaway, this cherished River City Youth Foundation tradition brings thousands of children and families together for an unforgettable night of joy, kindness, and community spirit.

Each December, volunteers, partners, and neighbors come together to transform our campus into a holiday wonderland filled with toys, treats, and heartwarming moments.

The evening also features a wonderful Posada that tells the story of Christmas. From the excitement of choosing the perfect gift to the smiles shared over festive meals, Merry Memories captures what the season is truly about: giving, connection, and hope.

This year, we’re preparing for even more families, more magic, and more opportunities to make a child’s holiday shine. Whether you’re joining us as a volunteer, donor, sponsor, or family, you are part of what makes this night extraordinary.

We invite you to step into the spirit of the season and help us continue this decades-long tradition where every gift tells a story of love.
