Welcome to the Collier-Harrison Detachment
Toys for Tots Program of Sangamon County
Sixty years ago, the wife of a Marine Corps Reserve officer handed her husband a hand-made doll and told him to give it to an organization that provided toys to poor children during the holidays. When he told her no such agency existed, she told him to start one. And so Toys for Tots was born.
Six decades later, that spirit of caring and giving is alive and well.
The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program is to bring the joy of Christmas to needy children in our community. The principal goal is to deliver a message of hope that will inspire needy youngsters to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. The objectives include having a positive impact on the development of children, creating or restoring self esteem, and bringing all elements of communities together in a common cause for three months each year.
Please join us this holiday season in delivering a message of hope to needy children in our own community by donating a new, unwrapped toy to the Sangamon County Chapter of Toys for Tots.
