To the editor:
It’s that time of year again, with Christmas arriving soon we all want to see the happy faces on the children in northern Aroostook County. We are in the process of putting out collection cans and toy collection boxes to help us with our program for the children.
The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots in Aroostook County makes a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children of our community. Last year approximately 2,302 children in the northern Aroostook County received toys through Toys for Tots. This year we expect the need to be greater than last and we are asking for your help.
The local Toys for Tots team works very hard to make Toys for Tots a success, but we could never do it without the help of concerned citizens and business leaders. We rely on local businesses for assistance in a number of areas, including:
• Providing toy collections;
• Assisting in the transportation and storage of toys;
• Helping to promote Toys for Tots in the media;
• Underwriting special events;
• Providing a product or service suitable for raffling; and
• Assisting with such critical services as printing.
If you would like more information, please call 834-3504 or e-mail northernaroostooktoysfortots@yahoo.com.
