The Easton branch of TCFL is a collection site for the 16th Annual Toys for Tots Toy Drive sponsored by Talbot Young Professionals. The Marine Corps Reserves is expecting COVID19 to have a double impact on the Toys for Tots toy drive this year: possibly fewer donations and greater demand as more families qualify to receive. Please consider placing a new, unwrapped toy in our box and help make a child's holiday a bit brighter. Thank you!
