The local community is asked to help brighten the holidays for Kewaunee County families in need by donating new and unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots. The Toys for Tots Program is the mission of the United States Marine Corps Reserve and, in Kewaunee County, it’s being carried out by Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski.
“This is a great program and it’s nice to see all of the smiles around the holidays,” said Joski, Toys for Tots coordinator. “Last year, we distributed about 1,500 toys to approximately 250 children, serving nearly 100 families in Kewaunee County.”
Toys will be collected at dozens of businesses across Kewaunee County from mid-November to Dec. 15. Distribution for those toys will take place Dec. 16 at Kewaunee Grade School from 12 – 2 pm.
