On Saturday, October 19, we'll expect to see a Humvee and a few Marines that will be volunteering their time to represent the cause and to assist with our donations. Thank you to Gunnery Sergeant Howard from Toys for Tots for his commitment.

Please join us in bringing smiles to disadvantaged children throughout the region over this holiday season. As always, there is no admission. You are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy...or maybe two. Thank you in advance for helping elevate our community for this honorable cause.

Will- I'll do my best to get there early. Hope the weather cooperates.

The weather looks solid. Due to the government shutdown, lets hope that the deployment of the Marines and their Humvee is approved in such a short time frame. The House just voted in favor of the 'motion to concur' in the Senate amendments. Now, the Marines must get approval to move forward. If its not set in time, I have confirmed that the Marines will appear unofficially after 10 AM to pick up our Toys For Tots donations.

Wild times.

The Toys For Tots gathering is here! Accuweather predicts partly sunny skies with temps rising from the low 50’s to the upper 50’s for Saturday morning (8-10 AM) in Hunt Valley.

Vehicles can arrive as early as 6:30 AM which is especially handy if you want to catch breakfast before the bulk of arrivals. As always, there is no admission. If you can donate a new, unwrapped toy to Toys For Tots, you’ll bring smiles to a disadvantaged child in Baltimore County. Saturday morning is about elevating our enthusiast community for an honorable cause.

Saturday morning is for the kids! Thank you for your participation and thank you for your donations. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning!

Between 6:30 AM and 10:00 AM on Saturday, 500 cars brought together over 300 toys for disadvantaged children in Baltimore County. Even more toys are arriving at our drop-off location at NAPA in Hunt Valley. Thank you to everyone that participated and donated!

Here's a shot with the Marine representative that helped us load the donations after the event. Oorah!
