Toys For Tots Drive Kicks Off In Warren Township

WARREN, NJ — The holidays are just around the corner, and the effort to ensure every child receives a toy is in full swing with a Toys for Tots drive in Warren Township.

Toys for Tots is an effort led by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve since 1947 to ensure children in need can feel the joy of unwrapping a toy on Christmas. The campaign draws participation from over 800 communities covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

The Warren toy drive runs for Nov. 18 to Dec. 11, and donations are accepted Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

New, unwrapped toys can be donated using a toy drop box outside the recreation office on the first floor of the Warren Township town hall.

Toys for Tots serves toddlers and youth through age 17. Toys used or considered as weapons are not accepted. Checks or money orders can also be made payable to Toys for Tots.
