The holidays are fast approaching and the Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is delighted to once again partner with Spokane Toys for Tots for the Toys for Tots drive this holiday season.
Christmas is a time of joy, yet many people in our community struggle to pay the bills and can’t afford gifts for their children. This is a great opportunity to help kids from low-income families feel a part of this tradition, so they have something fun to talk about when they are back to school.
Marines have conducted successful Toys for Tots campaigns every year since 1947. In 2023, Toys for Tots distributed 44,122 gifts to brighten the holidays for 9,456 children in the Spokane County area.
