Lycoming County Toys For Tots

10/01/2026

Today marks the official kickoff of the 2026 Marine Toys for Tots Holiday Campaign!🎄

Across the Nation, dedicated Marines, local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators, volunteers, and community partners are coming together with one shared purpose: delivering hope and joy to children who need it most this holiday season.

While each local campaign follows its own schedule for toy collection, registration, and distribution, one thing remains the same everywhere—the incredible generosity of people who believe every child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas.

Together, we'll help millions of children unwrap more than a gift.

We'll help them unwrap hope, confidence, and the comforting reminder that their community cares.

Thank you for helping us make the holiday season brighter for children and families in need this year.

Today marks the official start of the 2026 Toys for Tots Holiday Campaign, and across the Nation, Marines, local Campaign Coordinators, volunteers, and National Corporate Sponsors are once again preparing to accomplish a mission that has united Americans for nearly eight decades: ensuring children in need experience the joy of Christmas.

I have the privilege of seeing just how much work happens before a toy ever reaches a child's hands. Warehouses begin to fill. Collection boxes appear in communities. Volunteers answer the call. Businesses step forward to support the mission. And thousands of people from every walk of life come together to accomplish a common objective.

That is what makes Toys for Tots enduring. It is a National mission carried out at the local level, powered by Americans who understand that helping a disadvantaged child matters.

This year, I'm asking the American people to stand with us again. Whether you donate a toy, contribute financially, volunteer your time, of help spread the word, your support directly strengthens our mission.

Over the months ahead, I'll be sharing some of what I have the opportunity to see from my seat as President and CEO—the Marines, local Campaign Coordinators, volunteers, communities, and moments that remind me why this mission continues to matter.

Our 2026 Holiday Campaign starts today. Let's get to work.

🎣 300 TOYS TO KICK OFF THE 2026 CAMPAIGN! 🎁

A huge THANK YOU to the Williamsport Bassmasters for once again supporting Lycoming County Toys for Tots through their annual Toys for Tots Bass Tournament!

Thanks to the generosity of the anglers, organizers, and everyone who supported the tournament, an incredible 300 new toys were collected to help us get the 2026 Toys for Tots campaign off to a fantastic start.

We also want to give a special THANK YOU to Economy Locker for stepping up and transporting all 300 toys to our headquarters. Your support helped get these donations where they needed to go and ready for this year's campaign.

Community partnerships like these are what make Toys for Tots possible. Every toy collected brings us one step closer to making sure children throughout Lycoming County have something special waiting for them this Christmas.

Thank you, Williamsport Bassmasters and Economy Locker, for helping us start the season strong! 🎄🧸

Hello, Fall! 🍂

As the seasons begin to change, so does the pace of the Toys for Tots mission.

Across the country, local Toys for Tots Chapter Coordinators and volunteers are already hard at work preparing warehouses, organizing donations, and laying the foundation for another impactful Toys for Tots Holiday Campaign. While many people associate our mission with the holiday season, the work of delivering hope begins long before the first toy is placed under the tree.

Every pallet unloaded, every shelf stocked, and every volunteer who lends a hand brings us one step closer to creating joyful holiday memories for children in need.

The season of giving is almost here—and we can't wait to share it with you.

Stay tuned. ❤️🎁

Two years ago, we unlocked the doors for the first time and had no idea what to expect. 🎉
What we got was you — curious kids, thoughtful gift-givers, locals who made us part of their routine, and a community that genuinely believes in play. We didn't just open a toy store. We found our people.

Join us Monday, June 22 for our two year celebration! Thank you!
