Local 888 is proud to partner with the U.S. Marines and Toys for Tots this holiday season to help brighten the holidays for local children.

Since the program was founded in 1947, Toys for Tots has provided deserving families with the joy of a new gift on Christmas. The mission of the Toys for Tots program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute the toys as gifts to needy children in the community.

Toys can be dropped off at the Local 888 union hall in Charlestown, Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The toy collection will run through Saturday, Dec. 15.  For more information, contact Brenda Rodrigues at 617.241.3322
