Montgomery Helps Gather Toys for Tots

Montgomery residents can give back this holiday season and help some children in need.

The following is from a news release provided by the Village of Montgomery:

"Toys for Tots drop-off boxes are now available at the Montgomery Village Hall and Police Department. Anyone wishing to contribute new, unwrapped gifts (toys, games, sports equipment, children’s books, etc.) may drop them off by December 12th from 8am to 4:30pm.

Toys for Tots is a program coordinated by the US Marine Corps Reserve that provides toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them Christmas gifts. The local group reported that they have been assigned 500 more names of children in need than they had last year, so donations are urgently needed!"
