It’s Toys For Tots Time Again Victoria!

That's right, the holiday season is fast approaching which means it's time for the annual Marines Toys for Tots campaign. This year Toys For Tots and Blue Santa are teaming up to raise enough toys for over 5,000 kids in the Crossroads area.

Last year, approximately 5600 children in the Crossroads received toys and I know we can meet and exceed that number this year.

As with the past, Faith Family Church will serve as the hub for the toys this year making sure kids get the toys they deserve at Christmas.

There will be approx. 150 drop off boxes around the area to drop off a new, unwrapped toy ranging in price from $10-$15 and as usual, they will not turn any child in need away which is why we need to step up and help out this great cause.
