Chesterbrook Academy Students Donate Gifts to Toys for Tots

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool at College Hill in Lancaster recently collected dozens of toys to benefit Toys for Tots, a gift drive run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Throughout December, students worked together to collect the items, and at the close of the drive, a representative from the organization stopped by Chesterbrook Academy to pick up the donations. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping others in the community, especially during the holiday season.

Toys for Tots, a 70-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to less fortunate children during each holiday season. The toys, books and other gifts collected and distributed by Marines and volunteers offer these children recognition, confidence and a positive memory for a lifetime.
