From State Senator Craig Wilcox:
Many families are facing difficult financial circumstances, and something as simple as a toy can brighten a child’s holiday. Toys for Tots, sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps, has a long tradition of helping ensure that joy reaches as many homes as possible.
My office is serving as a drop-off site, and new, unwrapped toys and other gifts for children of all ages will be collected this year through Friday, December 5.
Toys will be picked up on Monday, December 8.
2025 Toys for Tots Collection
Senator Craig Wilcox’s District Office
209 North Benton Street, Woodstock
8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Local collection campaigns are held annually in over 800 communities across all 50 states, and either a Marine, a member of a Marine Corps League Detachment, or a member of a local community organization is designated as a coordinator for each community.
Once all toys are collected from drop-off locations, coordinators, with the help of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other community agencies, distribute toys to children who might otherwise have no gift to open during the holidays.
As we reflect on everything for which we are grateful, I encourage those who are able to share their generosity with others. A small gift can make a big difference, and together we can help bring smiles to children across our community.
