Morrison County Toys For Tots

🎄 One week from today, on October 1st, we officially kick off the 2026 Toys for Tots Holiday Campaign!

While the National kickoff marks the official start of the season, each local Chapter location operates within its own community timeline, meaning collection periods, registration dates, and distribution schedules may vary by location.

📍 For the most accurate and up-to-date information in your area—including how to request support, donate, or get involved—please connect directly with your local Chapter through our National website. This ensures you’re receiving the right details for your community.

Click here to find your local Chapter’s website: https://www.toysfortots.org/find-your-local-chapter/

Every local Toys for Tots Chapter is powered by dedicated local Chapter Coordinators, volunteers, Marines, and community partners who play a vital role in delivering hope and joy—turning generosity into toys, books, and joyful memories for children in need.

The countdown is on. Let’s make this holiday season one to remember. ❤️🎁

📣 AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM US ❤️

We promised we would continue keeping our community updated as we work through our plans for the future, so here’s where things stand…

After looking at our options for relocating, we have made the difficult decision to put our relocation plans on hold for now.

The biggest challenge we are facing is finding a space in our community that meets our needs and is affordable for us. Unfortunately, there just isn’t enough affordable space currently available that would allow us to make the move we need to make.

That doesn’t mean we’re giving up! ❤️

We are still looking at options and will continue searching for a location that could work for us. In the meantime, because we don’t have an immediate move happening, we are once again accepting new donations. 🙌

💙 BUT WE NEED OUR COMMUNITY’S HELP

This is one of those moments where we truly need to ask our community to come alongside us.

If you want to help us stay where we are, financial support could make a HUGE difference. Every dollar helps us continue covering the costs of remaining in our current space while we work toward a longer-term solution.

And if you know of a building, storefront, warehouse, or other space in the Little Falls area that may be available for less than what we are currently paying, PLEASE reach out to us!

You may know of a space that we haven't heard about. You may know someone who owns a building. You may have an idea that we haven't thought of.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! ❤️

Whether you can:
💰 Make a financial contribution
🏢 Tell us about an affordable space
📣 Share this post
🤝 Connect us with someone who may be able to help
❤️ Or simply continue supporting what we do…

IT ALL MATTERS.

We truly believe that our community is stronger when we work together, and right now, we need that community more than ever.

Thank you for sticking with us, supporting us, and being patient as we navigate this next chapter. We promise to keep you updated along the way. ❤️

Together, we’ll keep looking for a way forward. 🙏I can also make a shorter, more emotional version designed specifically to get people to stop scrolling and share the post.

DONATIONS CAN NOW ACCETED STARTING TODAY.

❤️ WARM YOUR SOUL MEAL – ITEMS STILL NEEDED!

We’re getting ready for our Tuesday, September 22, 2026 Warm Your Soul Meal, and we still have a few items needed to help make this meal possible! 🍲🥖

We have some items but are still currently looking for more of the following items listed below to help make enough Chili for roughly 30-35 community members:

🛒 3 lbs. hamburger
🛒 5 packets of chili seasoning
🛒 3 onions
🛒 3 green peppers
🛒 1 container sour cream
🛒 1 – 16 oz. package shredded cheese

🙏 If you’re able to donate any of these items, please drop them off at our office by the end of business on Friday.

Every donation, big or small, helps us continue providing meals and bringing our community together. ❤️

Thank you so much for your continued support!
Together, we can Warm Your Soul! 🥰🍲If you’d like, I can also make this **more eye-catching and urgent for Facebook**, with a stronger “we still need your help!” style.

Toys for Tots is often recognized for its holiday mission, but the need to support children doesn't end with the season—and neither does our commitment.

Throughout the year, Toys for Tots works alongside nonprofit partners, supporters, and volunteers to meet the needs of disadvantaged children and families in communities across the country.

From providing books that inspire a lifelong love of reading, to supporting families recovering from disasters, to preparing for the holiday season months in advance—every effort helps ensure children receive hope when they need it most.

This is what a year-round force for good looks like.

❤️ Together, we're bringing hope to children every day of the year.
