Letter Carriers will feel like Santa on Saturday, December 1. Residents in Lee and Charlotte County are encouraged to place a new, unwrapped toy in or by their mail receptacle for collection by the letter carrier. This one day toy drive to benefit the Marine Corps League Toys for Tots program yields the majority of the toys that will be shared with underprivileged children locally.
In Lee county for pick up of larger items call 239-699-8121. Post Office lobbies as well as Walgreens stores in Lee County will have a donation container for toys. Monetary donations can be made by credit card at http://fort-myers-fl.toysfortots.org. Checks can be mailed to Toys For Tots, PO Box 150393, Cape Coral, Fl 33915.
Please make the holidays brighter for families who are struggling to get by and donate a toy on Saturday, December 1.
