Iroquois Memorial Hospital is partnering with The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation by placing toy collection boxes at the hospital’s main entrance, the Iroquois Regional Health Center and the Watseka, Milford, Gilman and Kentland clinics.

Toys for Tots is an international not for profit organization. New items (books/toys) are donated help give children a message of hope at Christmas. Monetary donations are also accepted.

Toys for Tots in Iroquois County also partners with the Watseka Park District and “Food From the Heart”, accepting food donations for a Christmas Dinner the day of the toy distribution. All proceeds benefit families in Iroquois County.

Last year’s campaign had over 4,000 toys distributed to children from newborn to age 10. Families in need can fill out an application for the toys online at www.ToysForTots.org or pick one up at any of IMH’s toy collection box locations. The campaign in Iroquois County provides a ray of hope for the future.

For more information or any questions, contact Bill Nutter, Iroquois County Toys for Tots Coordinator, at 815.471.0129.
