Description

Each year, Marine Corps Toys for Tots of Northeast Missouri provides Christmas gifts to nearly 1500 low-income children. We serve Marion, Lewis, Ralls, Pike, Monroe, and Shelby Counties. Over half of the children served come from Marion County.

We are able to accomplish our mission through the support of our local communities. Area businesses collect funds and host toy donations boxes. Social service groups donate toys and funds. We also conduct some fundraisers,

This year, on November 9, we will be hosting a bingo event at the American Legion in Hannibal. We are seeking donations that can can be used as as prizes prizes for the winners.

We will also have a box for people to bring in unwrapped toys. We will also be selling nachos and hot dogs.
