Where to Donate to Toys for Tots

Just in time to get you in to the holiday spirit, we have compiled a list of Toys for Tots donation spots around Arlington.

Toys for Tots is a national non-profit organization run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve that collects and distributes new toys to children during the holiday season. Toys for Tots, which was started in 1947 by Major Bill Hendricks, originally accepted both new and used toys, now only accepts new, unused and unwrapped toys. 

Bring a new, unwrapped toy to any of these participating Arlington donation sites by Dec. 22:
