How does Toys for Tots work?
It’s very simple to make a donation or give a toy to Toys for Tots. You can purchase any toy for ages 0-16 and place it, in it’s original packaging, in any of the Toys for Tots drop bins (at convenient locations) around Mankato. The only requirement is that the toys be in their original packaging and be unopened. All toys and donations will benefit Nicollet and Blue Earth county kids who are less fortunate. On December 19th these toys will be distributed through various social service agencies in Nicollet and Blue Earth counties. The Mankato Toys for Tots is supported by the hard work of Forrest G. James Detatchment Auxillary, Marine Corps League, Realtors Assn. of Southern Minnesota and local volunteers. Visit our history page to learn more about the Toys for Tots organization.
