The holiday season is a time for giving, and Highlands and Hardee County is committed to bringing joy to disadvantaged children through the Marine Toys for Tots program. This initiative, organized in collaboration with local volunteers and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, ensures that every child experiences the magic of the holidays.

The program helps to alleviate the financial burden on families during the holiday season and ensures that children in need have a memorable and joyful Christmas. Toys for Tots fosters a sense of community spirit and generosity, highlighting the importance of helping those less fortunate.  

There are multiple ways to help:

• Donate Toys: Purchase new, unwrapped toys and drop them off at designated collection sites.
• Monetary Contributions: Donate money to help purchase additional toys and cover program expenses.
• Volunteer: Offer your time to assist with various tasks associated with the program.
• Spread the Word: Share information about the program with friends, family, and social networks to encourage broader participation.

Together we can bring joy and happiness to the children of Highlands and Hardee County!
