Marines Collecting Toys for Toys at Fallbrook Airpark

Collection boxes are out through Dec. 17 at the San Diego County airports in Fallbrook, Carlsbad, El Cajon and Ramona.

FALLBROOK, CA -- Putting a smile on a child’s face feels especially good during the holiday season, and you can get that good feeling by teaming up with County airports and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves and donating a new, unwrapped toy to their annual Toys for Tots drive.

Collection boxes are out through Dec. 17 at four County airports: the Fallbrook Airpark, McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, Gillespie Field in El Cajon and Ramona Airport.

The toys that are donated are distributed each year to less fortunate children in our county communities.
As in previous years, Marines will hold two special collections, in person and in full uniform, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat., Dec. 17 at Fallbrook Airpark, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat., Dec. 10 at Ramona Airport.
