Toys For Tots Donations Needed In Banning: How To Help — But Hurry

BANNING, CA — While checking off holiday gifts for family members, don’t forget the kids who aren’t on anyone’s shopping list. This year, pick up a new unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots campaign in Banning and Riverside County.

Sponsored by the Marine Corps Reserves, Toys for Tots is organized locally by volunteers and collected toys will benefit needy children in your area.

Last year in the Pass Area over 26,921 toys were distributed to children who might not have received any Christmas gifts otherwise. Nationally, about 625 million toys were handed out to 291 million kids.

Besides dropping off new, unwrapped toys at several drop-off locations, people who want to support the campaign can also donate online.

Here’s what you need to know and where to donate toys from the Pass Area to Palm Desert and across the Coachella Valley until Dec. 17:
