Is there no way to get a gift for my daughter anymore ??
I’m new to this and did get email for approval drop off site for people to donate toys but when do we get the boxes? Do I go get them or someone brings them. Don’t want to miss my opportunity
We at Alamo City Arsenal are very grateful for Toys for Tots and their support over the past few years. Unfortunately, since there was not an Arsenal match this weekend, this happened to be lowest turnout of the 5 years that we have been supporting this event. Still, over 200 toys collected and they are all going back to children right here in San Antonio.

I love this city, and I love my friends who come out every year to donate and support. I would like to thank the Toys for Tots coordinator and the Marines of San Antonio for continuing to make Christmas brighter for children who otherwise might not have one.

Semper Fi.
Where do we pick up the boxes to become a donation station? thanks.
AMERICAN LEGION POST 208 FAMILY PROMOTES TOYS FOR TOTS 2018!

The local Marine Corps Reserve Unit 4th Recon BN based in San Antonio, Texas is in charge of The Toys for Tots campaign. Toys for Tots program runs from October ~ December. The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children in the local area experience the joy of Christmas; to unite local communities in a common cause for the annual toy collection and distribution campaign.

Each year caring people drop off new, unwrapped toys in T4T boxes. 4th Recon BN coordinates Toys for Tots collection sites, distributes boxes & posters, coordinates pick up locations & schedules pick ups. The toys are then sorted and prepared for deliveries at a local warehouse. As Christmas nears, Marines distribute toys themselves to less fortunate children in the community. Family’s sign up on the T4T website to receive toys, proper documentation is required. While Marines and volunteers help organize, coordinate, and manage the program, the ultimate success depends on the support of the people within the community who donate toys.

American Legion Post 208 in Kerrville, Texas located on Riverside Dr is one of the success stories this year. The combined efforts of the Legionnaires, Ladies Auxiliary and Sons of the Legion plus the ALRiders, celebrate in giving this year. The American Legion #208 have worked steadfastly, side by side, promoting patriotism helping military families, Veterans and other charities.
While members of The American Legion Family are individually unique, collectively they are a powerhouse of caring members who are dedicated to service. Post 208 family has the spirit of giving. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Sent a private message this morning regarding toy donation... Please assist
What/where is the location of the warehouse for drop off of donated toys?
who do we contact if there an error on a child age?
Hi! Wanted to see where's the best place to drop off a few bags' worth of donated toys from a live music toy drive we had down at Cheatham Street Warehouse yesterday. Either New Braunfels or San Marcos would be preferable. Couldn't find a list of locations anywhere and the shop I used to take them to has changed ownership.

To collect new, unwrapped toys during October ~ December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community

Good afternoon,
This weekend is our first distribution. As you all know, things are different this year due to the pandemic. With that being said, below is the address for this years warehouse. Keep in mind that this year is a drive thru not a walk up. You must be in a vehicle to receive your toys along with having all required documents. There will be no exceptions. We would also like to add, this is a program for children but you do not have to bring them with you. There are no restrooms for anyone there so please plan accordingly. If there are any arguments within the line, anyone involved will be asked to leave and not return. If you get out of the line for any reason (other than a T4T volunteer asking you to) you will have to get back at the end of the line. No cutting or holding spots for anyone. We will be trying our hardest to get everyone in and out as quickly as possible so please work with us by having everything ready when it is your turn. Thank you very much for your assistance and understanding.
