Giving Back at the Holidays
ABOUT MERRY MEMORIES IN DOVE SPRINGS
It's that time of the year once again when we bring the magic of Merry Memories to the community of southeast Austin's Dove Springs.
Join us for an evening production featuring the much anticipated Toy Giveaway and a special Christmas Posada. River City Youth Foundation's annual toy giveaway is one of the most beloved events each year for children and parents living in Dove Springs.
Each holiday, thousands of children feel the love of hundreds of hearts and souls who come together to create beautiful holiday moments they will NEVER forget. See some of the highlights below of the cherished Merry Memories events over the last 26 years.

Merry Memories has grown to become Austin’s second largest one-day toy and
bike giveaway event serving more than 2,000 children. We need many volunteers and donations to create this magical day!
