Toys for Tots program kicks off in Kewaunee County

Posted

KEWAUNEE – Every child deserves a little Christmas, and for nearly eight decades that’s been the holiday battle cry of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.

The Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski joins the Marines and other volunteers each year to make the Christmas dreams of local children in need a reality.

Last year, the program assisted 120 local families with 311 children.
Area residents are asked to donate new, unwrapped toys.

Drop-off sites are available in Kewaunee at Vollrath, Center Court Convenience, Kewaunee Fabrications, Dollar General, The Grove, Jorn’s Chevrolet, Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy, Kewaunee Fitness, Tractor Supply Company, Hooterville Station and Chiropractic Works.

In Algoma, collection boxes are stationed at True Value Hardware, Seiler Tire, Off-the-Hook Bar & Grill, Door County Rehab Services, Autumn’s Journey, Door County Medical Clinic, Dairy Deans, Richmond Center and Nicolet Bank.

In Luxemburg, sites include Lemmens Hardware, Simonar Shell, Bank of Luxemburg, Nicolet Bank, Krohn’s Dairy Store, Rice Engineering, Fox Community Credit Union and The Rendezvous.

Other sites include Walters of Rio Creek, Village Kitchen in Casco, Bank of Luxemburg in Dyckesville and L & L One Stop in Tisch Mills.

This year’s distribution date is Dec. 21, noon to 2 p.m., at Holy Rosary Church, 521 Juneau St., Kewaunee.

Distribution registration may be completed by phone, Nov. 1 to Dec. 18, by contacting Christi at 920-388-7160.

The program is open to children 12 and under who live in Kewaunee County.
