Urgent: Toys for Tots 2025 Campaign Launches in North Iowa

UPDATE: The 2025 Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign has officially launched, aiming to bring joy to children in need across the North Iowa area, including Floyd County. This annual initiative is crucial for providing holiday gifts to underprivileged kids and is now actively seeking toy donations.

The campaign is being spearheaded by the North Iowa Marine Corps League Detachment No. 859, which collaborates with the Mason City Salvation Army for application and distribution efforts. Applications for assistance are now open, ensuring families can receive the support they need this holiday season.

Mark your calendars! A special toy drive is set to take place on Saturday, November 29, 2025, where community members can drop off new, unwrapped toys. This event is a vital opportunity for residents to contribute directly to the cause and help make a difference in local children’s lives.

The impact of the Toys for Tots campaign is profound. Last year, the initiative helped thousands of children experience the joy of receiving gifts during the holiday season, and this year, the need is even greater as many families continue to face financial hardships.

As the campaign progresses, volunteers from the Marine Corps League will actively engage with local businesses and community members to gather donations. Every toy collected will help spread holiday cheer and ensure that no child in the area goes without a present this Christmas.

Stay tuned for further updates as the campaign unfolds, and consider supporting this worthy cause. Your contribution can provide happiness and hope to children in your community during this special time of year. Spread the word and share the spirit of giving!
