Christmas is a time of joy, happiness and goodwill. It is a time of giving and helping those who are less fortunate, especially the children. For 74 years, one organization, the United States Marine Corps has been the unchallenged leader in looking after America’s less fortunate children at Christmas.
Sept 1 marks the first day applications will be accepted by the local Toys for Tots Campaign covering Jersey, Greene, Calhoun, Northern Macoupin Counties, Southwestern and Gillespie School District. A “distribution point” has been established within each of the locations listed.
Webb Cunningham, a member of the Robert Windle Detachment # 1031 of the Marine Corps League has been assigned by the Toys for Tots Foundation as the local Toys for Tots Coordinator. Collection points for monetary donations and toy drop offs are being established at various locations throughout the service area. Please check our web site jerseyville-il.toysfortots.org for the nearest location.
