The Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores, in cooperation with the U.S. Marine Corps, will participate in the Toys for Tots program.
Established by Major Bill Hendricks with the support of his Los Angeles Marine Corps unit in 1947, the program was so successful that it was adopted and expanded nationwide in 1948.
The Toys for Tots program "makes possible the collection and distribution of toys, donated by the community, in order to make the holidays happier and brighter for needy children."
Chamber businesses will serve as collection sites and residents are asked to bring a new and unwrapped toy to any location with a Toys for Tots poster displayed by Dec. 15.
