Thank you for all the donations!

The Memorial Day Detachment # 468, Marine Corps League would like to thank everyone who participated in our 2022 Toys For Tots campaign in Ontario and Livingston counties. Due to your help and generosity we were able to distribute over 6000 toys and help around 2000 children to have a Merry Christmas. A lot of these children would not have otherwise been able to celebrate the holiday with a new toy without your help. All of the toys collected in each county are distributed in that county along with donations from our great corporate sponsors.

What is happening now.....

Huge thank you to Mitch Rowe, Michael Rizzolio and Bill Yale!
