Mayor Jodie Harrison launched the appeal at council chambers on Monday night.
Each year she calls upon residents to donate to those less fortunate.
Unwrapped toys may be donated at Morisset and Swansea libraries or at the council’s Speers Point administration building until December 17.
Samaritans and the Salvation Army will distribute the toys to needy families in the area in time for Christmas.
Cr Harrison said she was confident Lake Macquarie residents would support the appeal.
“One small gift under the tree on Christmas morning can make a real difference to families in need and your donation will ensure no child goes without a present this Christmas,’’ she said.
