We do not know what to expect with the Covid 19 issue this year but in 2018 we had Hurricane Michael and the community came together and we had one of the best years for the needy children of Jackson County. We are sure that the needy children are still here and possibly more than ever. We will be ready to serve the community again and insure that our children will have a very Merry Christmas 2020.

This is the 9th annual Christmas Toy Drive in Jackson County. What started out as a small undertaking has grown into a large toy give away for needy children at Christmas. Last year, even after all of the damage from hurricane Michael, we still provided toys to 846 children. This communities generosity and support of Toys For Tots has grown every year since our start in November of 2011.
Toys for tots had very humble beginnings in 1947 by a Marine Corps Major and his wife in California. After that first Christmas the Commandant of the U.S.M.C. wrote an general order that still stands today. "Each U.S.M.C. Reserve unit in the U.S. will undertake this program and fully support it". From that day forward 71 years it is still going strong. This is the only charitable organization in the U.S. Armed Forces that exists solely to make sure that the needy children in the communities that we serve will at least have a toy on Christmas morning.
What started out as a 165 unit operation has grown to over 800 units like ours that have served over 28,000,000 children and growing. Those of us who volunteer our time, talent and resources are proud of this community and committed to keeping this special project alive and well in our community.

There will be a Country Western Show at the Madison Street Park on Wed. Oct. 24th beginning at 5:00PM. The headline entertainer will be Country and Western Recording Star DARRYL WORLEY. This event is being sponsored by Ricky & Tami Miller and Miller-Miller Chevrolet. It is free for all to attend. Mr & Mrs. Miller are asking that, if you can, please bring any non-perishable household goods or a New Toy for Toys For Tots. ( Donations will also be accepted ) It is going to be a tough Christmas for everyone this year. We provided toys to 947 children in 2017 and I expect the need to be even higher this Christmas. All non-perishable household items will be given to local charities for immediate distribution to the community. Bring your lawn chairs and relax to some good entertainment and take your minds off of what we are dealing with for a little while.
