Perry Hall Toys For Tots: These Are The 2019 Drop-Off Spots

PERRY HALL, MD — With the season of giving fast approaching, the Marine Toys for Tots campaigns are set to begin across the country. The mission of the foundation is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute them to less fortunate children at Christmas. The nonprofit public charity was founded at the behest of the Marine Corps in 1991, and it is still run exclusively by veteran Marines.

Today, there are hundreds of local campaigns across the United States in which residents can donate toys, apply for toys and even host a Marine Toys for Tots fundraising event.

Staff Sgt. Johnathan Bowman is the Toys for Tots Coordinator for Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Carroll County and Howard County. This year these regions are providing toys for more than 38,000 children.

People can drop off new, unwrapped toys until mid December.

There are multiple drop-off sites in and around Perry Hall; here they are:

• Disney Store 739, 8200 Perry Hall Boulevard
• Jerry's Toyota, 8001 Belair Road

Overall in 2018, there were more than 32,100 toys distributed locally and over 14,400 children supported through the campaign in the Baltimore region.

Children selected to receive toys through the program will be notified of the pickup point after their application has been accepted.

The local campaigns are conducted annually in over 800 communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, according to Toys for Tots. In the past year alone, the foundation collected and distributed 18 millions toys to 7 million less fortunate children.
The nonprofit also partners with 12 major sponsors that have contributed at least $2 million in toys. The sponsors include Hallmark, the Walt Disney Company, the UPS Store and Kmart.

Toys for Tots allows participants to make a donation in 10 different ways: donate online, donate in memory or in honor, donate through the holiday recognition program, donate toys, donate by mail, CrowdFunding, employer gift matching, planned giving and supporting through the Native American Program.
