Toys for Tots Kickoff Dinner

Dear Veterans and Friends:

The US Marines are preparing for the 2023 Chicagoland Toys for Tots campaign.

This wonderful program provides toys during the Christmas season to needy children.  Last year, the Toys for Tots Campaign of Chicagoland provided gifts for ~70,000 children.  No child’s request went unfulfilled.  Lots of details and donation information at https://chicago-il.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/default.aspx
