WUSTL to help Marine Corps collect Toys for Tots

Student veterans, faculty and staff from the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, the School of Law and Olin Business School are working together to help less fortunate children through the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.

Anyone interested in brightening a disadvantaged child’s holiday season can donate a new, unwrapped toy.

Donations can be placed in collection bins at three locations on campus: in the Goldfarb Hall Student Commons, in the Hall of Flags in Simon Hall and at the School of Law.

The Toys for Tots program uses local social service agencies and other organizations to distribute the toys in the local community. Marines may also distribute toys directly to needy children in hospitals, shelters or special children’s events.

Donations should be made by Dec. 7.
