Toys for Tots kicks off


Nov 29 2008

Legend Harley-Davidson of Silverdale is continuing its support of Toys for Tots, sponsored by the Marine Corps Reserve as a drop-off point for unwrapped gifts until Dec. 20.

Toys for Tots is locally coordinated by the Marine Corps League, Olympic Peninsula Detachment 531.

The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program began in 1947 in Los Angeles with the efforts of Maj. Bill Hendricks (USMCR) who, noticing there was no charity which distributed toys to deserving children during the traditional Christmas season, collected and distributed more than 5,000 toys to children in the Los Angeles area that first year.

For more information, contact John Towers at (360) 698-3700.
