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.
