Chesterbrook Academy Students Donate 75 Toys to Children in Need
Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Richmond held a gift drive in support of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program
On Dec. 17, Pre-K students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on Old Pump Road in Richmond donated more than 75 toys and gifts to Toys for Tots, a gift drive run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Over the past month, students worked together to collect the items to benefit local children in need. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping others and giving back to the community, especially during the holiday season.
Toys for Tots, a 70-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to less fortunate children during each holiday season. The toys, books and other gifts collected and distributed by Marines and volunteers offer these children recognition, confidence and a positive memory for a lifetime.
