Rotary Club of Buffalo brings joy to area children as Toys for Tots sponsor

The Rotary Club of Buffalo is sponsoring a Toys for Tots collection drive. New, unwrapped toys may be dropped off from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the lobby at the Larkin Center of Commerce, 701 Seneca St., Buffalo, until Dec. 15.

Toys will also be accepted at Buffalo Rotary’s holiday party on Thursday, Dec. 19, at the Saturn Club, 977 Delaware Ave., Buffalo. For more on the club’s collection drive, call 716-854-3397 or email [email protected].

Toys for Tots, a national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to disadvantaged children during the Christmas holiday season. The toys, books and other gifts collected and distributed by the Marines offer these children recognition, confidence and a positive memory for a lifetime.
