Don’t forget Toys for Tots
Did you know that the original Toys for Tots program was founded in 1947 by Col. Bill Hendricks, he came up with the idea for Marine Reservists to collect and repair used toys and hand them out to needy children?
Today Toys for Tots only accept new unwrapped toys or gifts, I say gifts because older kids and teens up to age 18 participate. Some good ideas to donate would be, stuffed animals, age appropriate games, age appropriate books, cosmetic items, perfumes and colognes. Teen girls like Baby Phat perfume and teen boys like Cool Water just to name a couple ideas.
To find a dropoff location or to become a dropoff location visit the national website at www.toysfortots.org. I know that you would feel better donating and the children will have a Merry Christmas.
