Secaucus is collecting toys and food for neighbors who need a lift this holiday season. The town Holiday Toy & Food Drive is Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Community Center, 145 Front St, Secaucus, in Hudson County, NJ.
Our team confirmed the date, hours and address on the official Secaucus November 2026 Community Calendar. Questions go to 201-330-2014, the number listed with the drive on that calendar.

When and where
- Date: Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026
- Time: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
- Location: Community Center, 145 Front St, Secaucus, NJ
- Phone: 201-330-2014
The same calendar asks residents to donate a gift for a child ages 1 to 12. Drop-offs also continue Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 145 Front St, according to the November calendar footer, so you can still help if Saturday morning does not work.
What to bring
Bring a new toy sized for kids 1 to 12, plus nonperishable food if you can spare a few pantry staples. Keep packaging intact so gifts are ready to hand out. Call 201-330-2014 if you need guidance on what the town is collecting that week or whether a specific item is already well stocked.
Cash or gift cards are not listed on the November calendar entry, so stick to toys and food unless a staff member tells you otherwise when you arrive. If you are shopping the same day, grab items that travel well: books, puzzles, stuffed animals, art kits, canned vegetables, pasta, rice and peanut butter are the kinds of staples most holiday drives can use right away.
How the town frames the drive
Secaucus prints the Holiday Toy & Food Drive on its official November community calendar alongside other resident programs, from senior bingo to blood drives. That placement matters. It signals a town-run collection, not a one-off pop-up, and it gives clear hours so volunteers and donors can plan around work and school.
The Community Center on Front Street is the same Front Street recreation campus residents already use for programs and meetings, which makes a quick drop-off realistic between Saturday errands.
