WIREGRASS TOYS FOR TOTS REGISTRATION
The
Marine Corps League Wiregrass Detachment along with 16 organizations in
Coffee, Geneva, Henry, & Houston Counties are partnering to
organize registration for the 7th
Annual Toys For Tots program in the Wiregrass. Last year, 1,900 needy children in our communities received Christmas gifts from the Toys For Tots program.
If
you are a resident of Coffee, Dale, Geneva, Henry, or Houston County
with children between the ages of 0 - 12 years of age and would like
to sign them up for this years Toys For Tots
program, dial 2-1-1 (toll free) on your phone or 1-888-421-1266 between the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. only, Monday through Friday.
A 2-1-1 Call Specialist will review the qualifications with you and let
you know when and where to sign up your children. Registration will end
November 30, 2011.
The
mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to
collect new, unwrapped toys during the year, and distribute those toys
as Christmas gifts to needy
children. The
primary goal is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a
message of hope to needy children and to motivate them to grow into
responsible, productive, patriotic
citizens and community leaders.
If
you would like to donate to this year's Toys For Tots program, be a
drop off location for donated new toys, or for additional information,
call 334-712-6843.
