Time is Running out to Donate to Toys for Tots!

We all get caught up in the holiday season, and sometimes the best of plans fall by the wayside. Don't let that be the case with your Toys for Tots donation!

Some of the locations I reported on in my last Toys for Tots post have already stopped accepting toys, but below is the information on businesses that are reported as still accepting as of today. You can drop off any new unwrapped toy during business hours.

CPM Insurance Service - 90 Hinman Street, Cheshire - Drop Dates November 1 - December 15, 2010.

In Touch Massage & Spa - 350 South Main Street, Cheshire - Drop Dates November 1 - December 19, 2010.

ACS - A XEROX Company - 7 McKee Place, Cheshire - Drop Dates November 15 - December 13, 2010.

Central Connecticut Chiropractic - 391 Highland Avenue, Cheshire - Drop Dates November 15 - December 20, 2010.

Great information. I didn't know they stopped this early in some locations.It is partially dependent on the marine liaison from that area.

Hi Gerard - I was rather surprised as well, that is why I thought a follow up post would be good to remind folks that time was running out.

Hi Steve - Thanks - we live in a very generous community, so I think people will step up and give. I hope it can be true for all the Toys for Tots locations!

Chris, I just posted on my fb to ask for help to collect Christmas gifts for 2 needed families. I have sent emails out a week ago, and so far, I don't have any response except 1 from one of our title companies. I feel the same way, time is running out.

Chris--It is great of you to keep pushing and advertising the toy drives. It does seem a bit early for the deadline. Some people wait until they are out holiday shopping to buy their donations and some people wait until last minute to shop! Great post Chris!

Chris - yes this is a great cause... My daughter does a jackets collection for the homeless at this time of the year. I am very proud of her for donating her time for this cause as well...

Hi Ruth - I think they need plenty of time to get the toys picked up from all the locations and then distributed to the families in need.

Rita - It is amazing that you have only gotten one response! Best of luck!

Praful - Have a great time in India!

Hi Joan - Good luck with your 1,000 toys--all in one weekend!? That's quite an endeavor!

Hi Pat - You haven't started your holiday shopping?! Join the crowd!

Robert - You daughter deserves your pride!
