Please join us in collecting toys during this Holiday Season by dropping off a new UNWRAPPED toy for a child or teen to either of our two fire stations. (No used toys, clothing or food will be collected at these locations.)

Unity Shoppe has joined with “Toys for Tots” this year to collect toys for those in need and has indicated that all toys collected will stay within our local communities.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation now in its 65th year, and is a non-profit organization that provides fundraising and other necessary support for the annual U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. Toys for Tots provides joy and a message of hope to less fortunate children through the gift of a new toy or book during the Christmas holiday season. (www.toysfortots.org)

According to Unity Shoppe, more than 22,000 people are referred each year by more than 300 non-profit agencies, churches, schools and hospitals. In addition to providing holiday gifts for less fortunate children, Unity Shoppe also operates a year-round “Free” store so people can shop with dignity for their basic needs including food, school clothing, school supplies, household goods, disaster and emergency services. Over 1,700 volunteers help a small staff of 15. Over $2 Million in merchandise is distributed annually. (www.unityshoppe.org)

We hope you and your family enjoy a safe and happy holiday season and hope you will consider bringing a gift into the station for a child less fortunate!
