Raydio Celebrates a Successful First Holiday Toy Drive with Truckloads of Community Generosity

Raydio is thrilled to announce the overwhelming success of its first-ever Holiday Toy Drive, held the weekend of November 28th through November 30th. What began as a brand-new community initiative turned into a heartwarming display of generosity, as listeners and neighbors across the Greater Milford area came together to support local families during the holiday season.

Thanks to the incredible response, every partner organization left the event with a truck full of toys, ensuring that hundreds of children in our region will experience a brighter, more magical holiday.

Toys were distributed to four local organizations whose work directly impacts families in need:

• The Milford Youth Center
• Santa’s Porch
• The Santa Foundation
• Toys for Kids and Teens

Raydio collected donations throughout the weekend at the DoubleTree in Milford, where residents dropped off toys, gift cards, and contributions. The atmosphere was festive and full of community pride—an encouraging sign for the start of what Raydio hopes will become an annual tradition.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better first year,” said Ray Auger, founder and operator of Raydio. “Launching something new is always a leap of faith, but our community showed up in a huge way. Seeing each organization drive off with a truck loaded with toys was a powerful reminder of what this area is all about—heart, kindness, and looking out for one another.”

Raydio extends sincere thanks to every listener, family, volunteer, and partner who contributed to making this inaugural drive a success.

Your generosity directly fuels the work of these organizations and ensures a happier holiday for children who need it most.
