The Goal for 2019 is to secure a toy for every child in need in

The season of giving never ends however we are gearing up for the Marine Corps baby, our local Toys for Tots, with local leads Sgt Travis and Sgt Eric. They dropped by yesterday to hand-off some swag so I grabbed an interview with them. They both are super passionate about securing a toy for every child in need this year and I hope you are inspired to help us achieve this goal as well.

Officially Toys for Tots 2019 kicks-off on Tuesday, October 1st. The current locations for drops off are the Edward Jones locations in Yakima, Yakima Federal Savings and Loan, Papa Murphy's locations in Yakima and Townsquare Media located at 4010 Summitview Ave in Yakima.
