College of DuPage Toys for Tots Collection Nov. 23 to Dec. 9

The College of DuPage 13th annual Toys for Tots collection will take place at the Glen Ellyn campus from Monday, Nov. 23, to Wednesday, Dec. 9.

Organized nationally by the United States Marine Corp., the College of DuPage drive benefits needy children in DuPage County.

Gifts are needed for young children as well as teenagers. The Toys for Tots organization has requested that donations include new, unwrapped toys (no stuffed animals or used toys). Since its partnership with Toys for Tots began 13 years ago, the College has become one of the largest collection sites in DuPage County.

Collection bins will be located on the main campus in Glen Ellyn at the Learning Commons in the Student Resource Center (SRC 2102), the Registration office in the Student Services Center (SSC 2221) and the Dental Hygiene program office in the Health and Science Center (HSC 1122).

Each year, Toys for Tots fulfilled the holiday hopes and dreams of nearly 7.5 million children and teens. Since its inception in 1947, the organization has distributed toys to more than 209 million children.
