Helping children in need: Marines kick off Toys for Tots campaign at Toys ‘R’ Us stores

How did Toys for Tots get started? Chip gets the details

Toys ‘R’ Us stores will welcome Milwaukee-area residents as they kick off the company’s annual holiday toy drive to benefit the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Through this partnership, children in need will receive gifts to unwrap on Christmas morning.

Local Toys for Tots representatives will be stationed at select Toys' R' Us stores on Thursday, November 6 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. to encourage customers to donate toys and cash.

Customers may donate new, unwrapped toys at any Toys'R' Us or Babies 'R' Us store through Sunday, December 7, and monetary donations will be accepted in-store and online at Toysrus.com/ToysForTots through Christmas Eve. All toys donated at Toys 'R' Us and Babies 'R' Us stores will stay within the community, making this a truly local program.
