Kids may not be looking past Halloween this early in fall, but the Marine Corps Reserve is already working to make sure children have a happy Christmas holiday.
Toys for Tots collection boxes are now set up until Dec. 8 at the Belt Branch, 1904 N. Belt, and the Savannah Branch, 514 W. Main.
Donations must be new, unwrapped toys and in the $5 to $15 range. More expensive gifts, such as video games, are discouraged so more people can afford to donate and more toys are available to give to children, according to Don Crigger, the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots coordinator for Andrew and Buchanan counties.
The toys that are donated in the two counties will be passed on to charitable organizations that distribute Christmas presents in Andrew and Buchanan counties.
