The Local Impact
Serving Newton and Tyler Counties during 2024
2,815 Toys Distributed | 1,167 Children Supported |
Toys for Tots is a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program dedicated to collecting and distributing toys to less fortunate children during the holiday season, ensuring they experience the joy of Christmas.
Having recently relocated to the Kirbyville area, I found a calling to continue my service here. With a genuine passion for making a difference, I am excited to now oversee the Toys for Tots efforts in Newton and Tyler Counties.
The homepage provides information on how to donate toys or money, volunteer, or host a toy drive, with easy access to local campaigns and drop-off locations. It also features news, upcoming events, and impact stories, while recognizing the contributions of sponsors and partners who make the program possible.
Together, let's bring joy and hope to children in our communities during the holiday season.
