'Toys for Tots' Collection Site 
Join the Chamber in providing Christmas gifts to Delaware County children in need! Your business provides a toy collection box for the public to drop off new, unwrapped toys. The Chamber will provide the logo labeling for the collection box and advertise that your business is a collection point!

Chamber staff will pick up the toys from your business and deliver them to Delaware Opportunities, which has partnered with the Chamber, to provide distribution of the gifts to Delaware County families.
