Toys for Tots Open House Dec. 3 at Brooker Building

For the third consecutive year, Brooker Insurance Agency will be a drop-off location for the U.S. Marine Corp. Reserve’s “Toys For Tots” Campaign.

The toys will be distributed to needy children in the communty.

This year, families who bring a new, unwrapped toy in from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 3 can meet Santa, who will pose for photos in front of the 20-foot Christmas tree, marble hearth or sweeping staircase.

The Brooker Building is at 10749 Pearl Rd. in Strongsville, at the intersection of Pearl and Albion Roads.

Toys can be dropped off any weekday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Collection bins are in the Brooker Insurance reception area. Everyone who donates gets a candy cane treat.

“Last year we were so pleased with the tremendous response from the wonderful and generous families in our community," Brooker Insurance Agency President Malcolm D. Brooker, Jr. said in a press release.  “We know that this year, more than ever, there are many families in need of this type of program around the holidays. With our community’s continued support, we hope to surpass last year’s truly remarkable collection totals."
