Darren Criss just gave us another reason to love him.

Over the weekend, the Glee star performed two back-to-back shows at the Roxy in Hollywood for fans, inlcuding fellow Glee guys Matthew Morrison and Ryan Murphy. Not only did a portion of the ticket sales benefit Toys for Tots, but concertgoers also brought toys for the children's organization.

Criss performed signature songs along with his hit cover of "Teenage Dream" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."

"Thanks to all those who brought toys to the Roxy," Criss tweeted after the show. "We are now giving 15 full bags of toys to Toys For Tots! Rock on."
