With Christmas cheer and festive fun, you know the season of giving has just begun. Teach your family today to not be filled with greed by helping another child in need. Below are a few organizations in our community that accept and disperse toy donations to those children without.
Toys for Tots
The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. Over the years the Foundation supplemented local campaigns with tens of millions of toys valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Additionally, the Foundation provides approximately one million dollars worth of promotional and support materials to local campaigns each year. Click the link below for more information:
