UPDATES ON MEMBER BUSINESSES
A letter from Morris Diehl, Coordinator for Toys for Tots in Montgomery, Walker, San Jacinto, Liberty, Grimes and Polk Counties:
As the coming Christmas season approaches it is not too late to become involved in the 2016 Toys for Tots campaign. During 2015 Toys for Tots and individuals and companies like yourself were able to give toys to over 11,500 children in our area. This year we are seeing more children in need. If you are able to donate either toys, time or monetarily or with to host an event we need your help. You can contact Toys for Tots at toysfortots.org/Texas and the county you live in or contact me at 936.521.9857, or e-mail Happydogs1@consolidated.net. We appreciate your past assistance and hope we may count on you again.
_____________________________________
The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
