Donate Toys for Tots in Albuquerque, NM

Christmas can be a special time of year for many children awaiting a special gift, time with family and school vacation. However, not all children are given the opportunities to indulge in such a Christmas. You can help make a difference in those children's lives!

Toys for Tots mission is to make sure children who come from needy families are given toys during the Christmas season each year. Not only will this bring about a sense of joy into families' lives, but Toys for Tots also realizes the bigger impact it can have in instilling a sense of humanity and community building a simple act of giving toys has on the children and the community itself. The organization was founded and mainly run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.

GySgt William Amass, coordinator of the Toys for Tots Albuquerque chapter has kindly given me some wonderful information on how you, the community, can help make some children's dreams come true this holiday season!

From October 24^th to December 15^th, you can drop off new toys at these locations:
