Batch A Toys

Now more than ever, it is crucial to continue to bring love, light, and holiday cheer to children and their families. Please donate today to help make our mission a reality!

Batch-A-Toys is an annual, community-wide program where Best of the Batch Foundation adopts more than 400 local families and provides toys to children, essential household items to the adults, and a holiday meal basket for the entire family to enjoy. More than 8,000 toys and household items are donated through the Foundation’s incredible volunteers, donors, and partner sites, and all presents are wrapped with love by our wonderful volunteers year after year. Charlie, Tasha, and their team of ‘elves’ personally hand-deliver the presents (along with smiles and joy) to children and families at the Women's Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh, Children's Hospital, Latino Family Center, and to children and families across Allegheny County on Christmas Eve each year.

Best of the Batch Foundation was founded in 1999 by former Steelers Quarterback to give back to his hometown of Homestead, PA. Best of the Batch Foundation offers over 12 educational programs to school aged children, annually serving over 3,800 children and their families over 9 Western Pennsylvania counties.
