“Toys for Tots is a program that has been assisting families in need during the holidays for generations. This year, our local Burlington County program informed us the need is very great, and they could use our assistance,” said Senator Singleton (D-Burlington). “We are answering the call for help, and hoping the community will join us so that children in need will have a joyful holiday.”

“Toys for Tots is a great organization that has been around for decades, thanks to the Marines,” said Assemblyman Conaway (D-Burlington). “This organization exemplifies what it means for a community to come together and help those in need, specifically children who are now given that ray of hope for the future.”
