A Small Gift Can Make a Big Difference

Ventura County Medical Center Toy Drive 2026

For children spending time in the hospital, a new toy can bring a welcome distraction, a little comfort, and a reason to smile. This November, Conejo Services is teaming up with Cumulus Media and the Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC) Auxiliary to help make those moments possible.

We’re proud to return as title sponsor of the annual VCMC Toy Drive, supporting Ventura County’s only hospital with a dedicated pediatric unit.

About the VCMC Toy Drive

Nearly 10,000 toys are distributed by Ventura County Medical Center each year, bringing smiles to young patients and children visiting loved ones. Whether it’s a stuffed animal, a game, or a favorite toy, these gifts offer a welcome bright spot during what can be a difficult time for families.

From November 1–30, neighbors throughout Ventura County are invited to contribute new, unwrapped toys for children and teens ages 0–18.

The toy drive is supported by Cumulus Media radio stations — 100.7 KHAY, 95.1 KBBY, 103.3 KRUZ, and 106.3 Groovy.

Radio-Thon: November 5

Tune in and lend a hand! On Thursday, November 5, KHAY will host a live radio-thon from the Cumulus Media studios in Ventura. During the event, listeners can join the effort by calling in to contribute and help bring more toys to local children.

Conejo Services is honored to stand alongside other sponsors in supporting this uplifting community event, and we’ll share some highlights from the toy drive throughout the month.

Conejo Services has called Ventura County home since 1979. Supporting local families is part of being a good neighbor, and we’re grateful for another opportunity to work alongside Cumulus Media and VCMC on a cause that means so much to our community.
