The 21st Annual Allston–Brighton Toy Drive 🎄

Brighton Main Streets is proud to support the annual Allston–Brighton Toy Drive hosted by State Representative Mike Moran. Each year, this event brings our community together to support more than 1,100 local children, and once again, our neighborhood has shown incredible generosity.

Toy donation drop boxes are available at the following Brighton Main Streets locations:

  • Rockland Trust

  • The Corrib Pub

  • Dorr’s Liquor Mart

  • Brighton Elks

Donations will be accepted through Sunday, December 14, with the Toy Drive culminating in a community event at The Corrib Pub, located at 396 Washington Street, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM 🎅

Attendees will also have the opportunity to view and enter raffles featuring an impressive selection of baskets assembled by a dedicated team of volunteers working tirelessly on behalf of our community.

We extend our sincere thanks to the many organizations and individuals who make this event possible, including BAIA, the Allston Civic Association, Charles River Health, PSF Community Center, Ward 21 and Ward 22 Democratic Committees, CRI Boston, elected officials, neighbors, and friends.

Again, Brighton Main Streets is honored to support the Allston–Brighton Toy Drive. Kelly McGrath, The Executive Director of BMS says, ‘This cherished tradition continues to bring our community together while providing thousands of gifts to children in need.”

As our nation celebrates 250 years of American ind As our nation celebrates 250 years of American independence, Brighton Main Streets is proud to help tell the story of our own neighborhood’s role in the founding of our country. This week, members of Brighton Main Streets had the privilege of visiting the Massachusetts Historical Society, where we participated in a fascinating tour and lecture focused on 1776. Standing among one of the nation’s premier collections of Revolutionary-era documents—including the renowned Adams Papers—was both inspiring and educational. It reinforced the importance of preserving and sharing the stories that shaped our nation and our neighborhood. Our research is only the beginning.
We’re honored to have been awarded a Boston 250 Summer Programming and Marketing Grant from The Boston Foundation for our project, “Revolutionary Brighton: Discovering 250 Years of Community, Courage, and Change.” This funding will support a series of community programs, educational events, storytelling initiatives, walking tours, and partnerships that will bring Brighton’s rich Revolutionary history to life for residents and visitors of all ages. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing the stories of the people, places, and events that helped shape both Brighton and the birth of our nation. We invite everyone to join us as we celebrate 250 years of community, courage, and change.
Boston 250 is a public-private partnership between the City of Boston and private sector partners, including Meet Boston, State Street, The Boston Foundation, John Hancock, Eastern Bank, Liberty Mutual, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and PNC Bank. Learn more about the city’s 250th anniversary celebration at boston250.org. This acknowledgment is included in accordance with the grant guidance provided by The Boston Foundation. 
Together, let’s discover why Brighton’s history is an important part of America’s story. 🇺🇸 Happy 250th, America!
