Long and Foster offices will serve as collection points for the United States Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program again this year. Members of the community are invited to drop new, unwrapped toys in collection boxes located in any Long and Foster office. Coordinators pick up these toys and store them in central warehouses where the toys are sorted by age and gender.

At Christmas, coordinators, with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups and other local community agencies, distribute the toys to the needy children of the community. Over the years, Marines have established close working relationships with social welfare agencies, churches and other local community agencies which are well qualified to identify the needy children in the community and play important roles in the distribution of the toys.

Please take a moment to stop by Long and Foster with a toy....a child will smile on Christmas morning...thanks to YOU!
