To the Journal editor:
Many families in our community are currently facing financial challenges. For children, receiving a new toy during the holiday season can offer enjoyment and serve as a positive experience.
In 2025, our Toys For Tots Campaign provided over 6,000 toys, 500 books and 2,000 stocking stuffers to more than 1,600 children in Marquette County. Nationally, the program distributed more than 24 million toys and books to over 11 million children. This success is thanks to your support. Given ongoing economic challenges, we expect even more requests this year and greatly appreciate your continued support.
This is the 79th National Anniversary for Toys for Tots. There are over 100 businesses in Marquette County with toy donation boxes. To see a list of businesses, please visit www.toysfortots.org (find Michigan then Marquette County for a complete listing).
Not a shopper? You can always donate online or send a check made out to: Toys For Tots, 9687 U.S. Highway 41, Champion MI 49814. All monetary and toy donations stay in Marquette County.
Thank you for supporting the Marquette County Toys For Tots Campaign. Your generosity will brighten the lives of children in need and offer them hope for the future.
