About toy donations
Toys must be new and unwrapped. Toys must be appropriate for children ranging in ages from 0 to 13 years old. They cannot be used and cannot realistically resemble any type of weapon. However, water guns and nerf guns are acceptable as long as they do not look realistic.
Additionally for pre-teens, you may consider sporting equipment/bags/balls; books, backpacks, cosmetics, purses, watch/wallet gift sets, bath gift sets, board games, radio control cars/trucks, hand-held electronics, skateboards/helmets, curling irons, hair straighteners, and hair dryers.
If you don't feel comfortable bringing a toy to the event, we will also honor raffle entries for proof of online cash donation to Toys for Tots.

About Toys for Tots
The Cincinnati-area Toys for Tots organization distributes thousands of toys to area families throughout the Tri-State. This year, the Marine Corps Reserve will collaborate with the Salvation Army for the toy collection and distribution campaign. These two organizations have over 200 years of history serving children in need. The Salvation Army will handle the individual family registration and distribution process for the Tri-State Toys for Tots. The Marine Corps will still conduct the Toys for Tots Campaign as in previous years.
