I'm in and will most likely be there with the whole screaming family.

I don't know if UC really has a grasp on Toys for Tots. Could you do a writeup on what is expected of us?

No problem.

The purpose obviously is to donate toys to kids in need. I believe Toys for Tots says they want/need unwrapped toys for boys and girls from ages 12 and under. Their site doesn't really say much about what types of toys to donate so I'll just let our 2008 pictures tell the story.

We're not asking folks to spend a lot of money, last year I think I spent about $25-30. A lot of folks go to places like the Dollar store and Big Lots where toys are plentiful and affordable.

This information might help....

Q : What kinds of toys are not allowed?
A : Toys with military theme. Toys related to weapons/law enforcement type toys. Toys with candy. Used toys. No chemicals (i.e. experimental labs, acid, crystal projects, etc.). The Toys For tots program do not allow these toys. The Toys For Tots of the Marine Corps reserve will not distribute toys fitting this description that are donated to the program to children. Instead, these toys will be donated to another charity organization.
