Debbie Yin, with the Marine Corps, said the organization would like to thank all of the businesses and public servants who have offered lobby space for Toys for Tots collection, as well as those who drop of gifts.
“We appreciate your participation and generosity in dropping off unwrapped gifts at any of the locations,” Yin said. “In addition, we will also have our Toys for Tots Christmas Bear House in the 2019 Thanksgiving Day parade on Nov. 28 and will have donation boxes along the parade route, so come out and see us and join in the holiday spirit.”
