Folks across campus are collecting new, unwrapped toys to support Toys for Tots (Middlesex and Essex Counties).
The Student Veteran Success holiday drive, supporting the Middlesex and Essex County chapter of Marine Toys for Tots Foundation Marine, is in full swing until December 15. Every year, Toys for Tots distributes hundreds of new donated toys to children in need through local non-profit organizations and social service agencies in the local neighborhood.
Donations of new, unwrapped toys are being collected in bins across MIT campus. You can find a collection bin at the following locations:
- 5-117
- 76-158
- E51-255
- MIT Welcome Center E38 Lobby
- W59, Heinz Building
- E19-711
- 37-301
- NE49-4th Floor
- E52-255
Monetary donations are also welcome! We recommend donations by credit card, if possible, so that they can be processed in time for this holiday season. MIT employees who give to the Marine Toys for Tots (Middlesex and Essex Counties) on Atlas will have their credit card fees covered by MIT, so 100% of your donation goes straight to bringing holiday cheer to children in need.
Please spread the word to your colleagues!
You can make a monetary donation directly to the Toys for Tots Drive through the Charitable Contributions app in MIT Atlas. Just type Toys for Tots in the recipient charity section, and select Marine Toys for Tots (Middlesex and Essex Counties).
