Toy Drives In Havre De Grace: How To Make The Holidays Merry For Everyone

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — While you’re checking off holiday gifts for family members, don’t forget the kids who aren’t on anyone’s shopping list and pick up some items for toy drives in Havre de Grace.

One of the most well-known toy drives is the Toys for Tots campaign, led by the Marine Corps Reserves. Since 1947, Toys for Tots drives across the country have collected 708 million toys that were distributed to 314 million children.

Last year in Harford County, 20,786 toys were distributed to 5,237 children who might not otherwise have gotten any Christmas gifts.

Besides dropping off new, unwrapped toys at several drop-off locations, people who want to support the campaign can also donate online. Below are drop-off locations across Harford County, according to Toys for Tots:
