Toys For Tots Donation Drive

Treasure Chest Foundation collects toys for children diagnosed with cancer who are currently in the hospital. These small gifts have an immense impact on children, especially during the holiday season. To make a donation, you can bring new, unwrapped, toys, gift cards, and gifts for teens to the drop-box located in Village Hall. All toys are welcome, but stuffed animals cannot be accepted.

Toys for Tots collects toys with the assistance of local community agencies, and distributes them to less fortunate children in the community who may not receive toys on Christmas morning otherwise. If you were unable to make a physical donation this year, you can still donate online. Visit toysfortots.org , treasurechest.org , and pawstinleypark.org for more information
