Happy Holidays!
This holiday season, all three of our campuses are drop sites for Toys for Tots!
Did you know?
This will be our fourth year with Toys for Tots in Kanabec County and we need your help to keep this program up and running. Last year we served 675 children and gave out 2,203 toys to children in Kanabec, Mille Lacs, and Isanti Counties.
Toys for Tots began in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR, and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to children in need. The idea came from Bill’s wife, Diane. In the fall of 1947, Diane handcrafted a Raggedy Ann doll and asked Bill to deliver the doll to an organization which would give it to a child in need at Christmas. When Bill determined that no agency existed, Diane told Bill that he should start one, and he did! The 1947 campaign was so successful that the Marine Corps adopted Toys for Tots in 1948 and expanded it into a nationwide campaign.
Toys for Tots donation boxes are located:
Mora – Clinic waiting area by Door C and outside the Community Pharmacy
Pine City – Clinic waiting area
Hinckley – Clinic waiting area (Coming soon!)
Please make sure the toy is new and unwrapped.
We are also accepting cash donations -please contact Paige Nelson, Wellness Programs Coordinator, to donate or for other questions.
Toys can be dropped off now until the week of December 9th.
Thank you for your continued efforts serving our communities by helping those families in need.
