The organizations are combining their efforts to collect unwrapped toys and canned goods and other non-perishable food items, culminating in a final event on Tuesday, December 8th where area residents can come by and meet some of the Toys for Tots Marines, Santa Claus, and join in other festivities.

"The holiday season always focuses us on the needs of others, and that is especially true during the difficult economic environment we are going through right now," said Traci Bernard, president of THHMHS. "We are honored to be working with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots to make a bigger impact on our community by collecting more items together than each of us could on our own. We invite everybody who is able to join our effort and help inspire an extra bit of hope for someone less fortunate this holiday season."
