It’s a true sign that the Christmas season is here!
The Southern Indiana Leatherneck Detachment begins collecting toys today for the 2021 Toys for Tots Campaign.
Toys for Tots Campaign Chairman, Pat Moriarty says their goal is to ensure kids around the Dubois County area have the best holiday season possible.
“It’s where we collect shiny new toys to give out to kids who need a toy for Christmas,” he says.
The program serves four counties: Dubois, Pike, Perry, and Orange. Several donation boxes are spread across these counties.
Look for the big white “TFT” collection boxes at local participating retail stores. Toys that are collected will go to disadvantaged children in the 4 counties surrounding and including Dubois County. New unwrapped toys may be dropped off at those retail locations.
