Toys For Tots Bin Open In Madison

MADISON, NJ - The Madison Police Department and Madison PBA Local 92 are once again collecting toys for the Toys for Tots Program.

The basic mission of the Marine Toys for Tots Program is to collect new unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children at Christmas. In order to better execute the Program, in 1991 the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation was created at the behest of the Marine Corps, according to their website.

In Madison, the Toys are collected and donated to children at Goreyeb Children’s’ Hospital in Morristown and Summit, as well as needy children in the Madison Area. Donations of new unwrapped toys can be dropped off in the Main Lobby of the Madison Public Safety Building at 62 Kings Road – 24 hours per day. For more information, contact the Madison Police Department at 973-593-3000. For more information on the Toys for Tots Program, visit their website at www.toysfortots.org
