Once again, Toys for Tots will hold in person registration on November 14th and November 17th, 9am to 5pm each day. Distribution of the gifts will be held at the Logan Valley Mall December 11th through December 15th. With your help, they will try to be sure every child wakes up to the joy of a new toy on Christmas morning. Consider adding some holiday magic to children who might otherwise go without. We have a box at our office where you can drop off new toys before November 30th.
We will be at SAP Networking Day on Thursday, November 19th. There will be a full day of presentations including “Brain Development and it’s Role in Experiences and Relationships, Emerging Drug Trends, Crisis & the Access Center and more. See the attached flyer for more information.
Our Administrative Offices are closed Thanksgiving and Black Friday to spend time with our families, but our Helpline is operational 365 days a year at 814-946-9050. If you need to talk with our staff, please call the Helpline, and our volunteers can reach us if necessary.
