九色视频 鈥 Christmas is around the corner, and counties around the Mid-Shore are preparing by beginning to accept toy donations for Toys For Tots.
Toys for Tots is a nationwide initiative by the Marine Corps Reserves. According to its website, the Toys for Tots鈥 goal is to collect new toys and distribute those toys to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas.
The Caroline County Sheriff鈥檚 Office began accepting donations on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at multiple locations. This will be the third year the Sheriff鈥檚 Office will conduct Toys for Tots in Caroline County.
The Sheriff鈥檚 Office is accepting donations of new, wrapped toys for children in need.
Drop of locations include the Sheriff鈥檚 Office in Denton, the Preston Town Office, the Ridgely Town Office and the Federalsburg Town Office from now through Dec. 5.
鈥淓very child deserves a little Christmas and the magic of Christmas,鈥 Capt. Rodney Helmer said.
In addition to the Sheriff鈥檚 Office, the Talbot County Chamber of Commerce and the Young Professionals organize Toys for Tots events and drop off locations throughout the county.
This year, the Toys for Tots annual luncheon will be held on Dec. 10 at the Tidewater Inn. Tickets are $50, and the chamber encourages toys to be delivered at all locations and at the luncheon.
Talbot County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Amy Kreiner said Toys for Tots will be very important this year.
鈥淚t鈥檚 such a meaningful cause every year, but I think in particular this year it is going to be a very difficult year for families,鈥 Kreiner said. 鈥淪o, whatever people can provide is helpful and will always be helpful to just give a child something to open is really meaningful. We just hope people can participate as best they can.鈥
Kreiner said that the chamber will update its website in the near future with drop off locations and luncheon information. For more information, visit .
