DELMAR, Md. – Delmar Town Hall, located at 100 S. Pennsylvania Avenue in Delmar, Maryland, will serve as a collection point for the Marine Toys for Tots Program for the first time this holiday season.

The Toys for Tots Program, run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, has delivered millions of toys to children in economically disadvantaged communities across the United States since 1947. While the program does not provide a recommended gift list, organizers encourage donors to select items they consider appropriate for children in their communities. Donations for pre-teens and teenagers are particularly welcome, including sporting equipment, books, board games, electronics, personal care items, and bicycles.
Officials noted that realistic-looking weapons and food items will not be accepted or distributed. Additional information and other drop-off locations are available at www.toysfortots.org
