WATSEKA, IL – Iroquois Memorial Hospital is partnering with The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation again this year by placing toy collection boxes at the hospital’s main entrance, the Iroquois Regional Health Center and the Gilman, Milford, St. Anne, and Watseka clinics, now through Dec. 4, according to information from the hopsital.

Toys for Tots is an international not for profit organization. New items such as books and toys that 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”, who accepts food donations for a Christmas Dinner the day of the toy distribution.

All proceeds benefit families in Iroquois County. Last year’s campaign had more than 4,000 toys distributed to children from newborn to age 11. Families in need can fill out an application for the toys online at www.ToysForTots.org.
