We are excited to announce that SERVPRO of Tarrytown/Elmsford's Toys for Tots collection campaign has begun and will last until Friday December 18th. 

Toy distribution takes place mid to late December. We encourage members of the community to mail/drop off a new unwrapped toy or a check made payable to the Toys for Tots Foundation.

Coordinators will pick up these toys and store them in central warehouses where the toys are sorted by age and gender. On Christmas, Coordinators, with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies, distribute the toys to the less fortunate children of the community.

The Marine Toys for Tots Program distributed 18.6 million toys to 7.3 million less fortunate children during the 2019 Christmas Holiday Season, allowing them to experience the joy of Christmas and receive a message of hope that otherwise would not have been there. This community action program took place in 807 communities covering all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.

Over the years, Marines have established close working relationships with social welfare agencies, churches and other local community agencies which are well qualified to identify the needy children in the community and play important roles in the distribution of the toys.

While Toys for Tots Coordinators organize, coordinate and manage the campaign, the ultimate success depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of the people who donate toys.

We encourage you to help us Fill the big green truck!

Drop off will be available M-F 8AM-5PM at 1000 North Division Street Suite 11A Peekskill, NY 10566. You can also make monetary donations through our Venmo account: @SERVPROoftarrytown. No amount is too big or too small!
