Help us support the Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles. Donate a toy, spread some joy, and enjoy 20% off your wine purchase!

We know what you're thinking… Christmas already? We haven't even had Thanksgiving yet!

We promise we're not trying to rush the holidays. There's a very special reason we're getting into the giving spirit a little early this year.

MCV Wines is proud to be a holiday toy donation location for the Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles, collecting new, unwrapped toys now through December 8, 2026.

Why We're Starting Before Thanksgiving

For many families, Christmas morning begins long before December 25th.

The Toy Bank's annual Day of Giving takes place on December 12, 2026, when local families receive gifts for their children. By distributing gifts early, the Toy Bank gives parents and caregivers time to prepare for Christmas morning and create their own special holiday memories.

So while it might seem a little early to put out the Christmas decorations, it's actually the perfect time to start giving!

Supporting Families Right Here in Our Community

Since 1994, the Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles has helped bring holiday joy to children and families throughout northern San Luis Obispo County.

This incredible volunteer-driven organization serves approximately 500 families and more than 1,300 children each year, including families in Paso Robles, San Miguel, Shandon, Bradley, and Heritage Ranch.

For families facing financial challenges, the holidays can be especially difficult. The Toy Bank helps make the season a little brighter by providing gifts and winter coats to local children.

At MCV Wines, we believe a strong community is built by people who show up for one another. We're grateful to have the opportunity to support an organization that makes such a meaningful difference close to home.

Bring a Toy, Enjoy 20% Off Wine!

Giving back should feel good, and we'd love to thank you for helping us spread a little holiday cheer.

Now through December 8, 2026:

Bring a new, unwrapped toy to the MCV Wines tasting room at the Tin City Annex in Paso Robles and get 20% off your wine purchase.

Simply drop your donation in our collection box while you visit.

Whether you're stopping in for a tasting, picking up your favorite bottle, or shopping for holiday gifts, we hope you'll consider bringing a little something extra for a local child.

No Gift Is Too Small — And Don't Forget the Big Kids!

One of our favorite reminders this holiday season is that every gift matters.

You don't need to spend a lot to make a difference. A coloring book, a small toy, a puzzle, or a set of art supplies can bring a huge smile to a child's face.

And let's not forget the older kids! While it's easy to find adorable gifts for toddlers and little ones, children ages 9–12 deserve some holiday excitement, too.

Consider donating:

LEGO sets and building kits
Art supplies and craft kits
Sports balls and outdoor games
Board games and puzzles
Books and creative activity sets
Science and STEM kits

Please remember that all donations should be new and unwrapped.

Let's Fill Our Toy Box, Paso Robles!

We love the community that has supported our little family winery over the years, and this is one small way we can give some of that love back.

If you're out shopping, consider picking up one extra gift. If you're visiting us for wine, bring it along. If you can't donate this year, sharing this post with friends and family helps, too.

Because the holidays aren't just about what's under the tree. They're about the people who make our community feel like home.

Let's make a little magic together! ❤️
