Toys
For Tots | Every year, the United States Marines launches
its holiday toy drive for needy children across the country.
Play is an important part of childhood and is a crucial aspect
in learning and social development. The toys collected are
distributed in the community where the toys were collected.
With drop off sites throughout the Hudson Valley, donating
to Toys for Tots is a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
To find out where to donate a new, unwrapped gift, visit the
website at: www.toysfortots.org/donate/toys.asp
and scroll down to your area. The Toys for Tots campaign also
accepts monetary donations and holds many events throughout
the year to raise funds for their drive.
