Legislator Schmitt Encourages all to Donate to Toys for Tots

Nassau County Legislator and Minority Leader Peter J. Schmitt joined with the United Stated Marine Corps 2nd Battalion to make his annual toy donation to the Marine Toys for Tots Program.  Under the direction of Major Chuck Kilbride, this year marks the 60th year that the Toys for Tots Program has collected and distributed toys to needy children nationwide.  In 2006, the Marines and volunteers distributed over 19.2 million toys to 7.6 million needy children.

“I can’t imagine a child waking up on Christmas morning without a gift to celebrate the holiday.  Toys for Tots  is a worthy cause and I encourage all to make a donation,” said Legislator Schmitt. 

Please visit www.toysfortots.org to find a donation location near you, or feel free to drop off a toy to Legislator Schmitt’s office and he will make sure that it is donated for you.

Happy Holidays!
