Dixon Toys for Tots 2019 Launch

It is time to bring the Christmas magic to life once again!!!

(Renee Schiavone/Patch)

Do you have…

  • hands, feet, and a heart for helping kids?
  • new or lightly worn, clean jackets, hats, and scarves hiding in the back of your closet that you just don’t know what to do with?
  • a sudden urge to buy toys, but no children around to give them to (without looking a bit odd)?
  • some extra birthday money (or a surprise inheritance from a distant uncle!) rattling around that you want to use to make a difference in our community this holiday season?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, your local Toys for Tots group has a place for you!!! We are excited to once again make Santa’s Christmas visit a smashing success for kids in our community, but we need YOU!

Donation boxes will be rolling into various convenient locations around town on November 1st ready to be filled with new toys and new or gently used (clean) jackets, hats and scarves by our amazing community!
