BENNINGTON COUNTY -- Community members who supported the 2025 campaign of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation are being thanked for helping bring Joy to children across the region.

Through the generosity of donors, countless children experienced the magic of the holidays. Whether it was a book read again and again, a doll tucked into bed at night, or a basketball bouncing in a driveway, each gift delivered more than just a toy—it delivered joy that lasted long after the wrapping paper was gone.

“Every donation makes a difference,” campaign organizers said in a release. “The kindness of our community ensures that children feel remembered and celebrated during the holiday season.”

With just 295 days until Christmas, planning for the 2026 Toys for Tots campaign is already underway. Community members, businesses, and volunteers who would like to get involved are encouraged to sign up and learn more about supporting the next campaign.

The Toys for Tots program, run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, works each year to collect and distribute new, unwrapped toys to children in need, helping deliver a message of hope during the holiday season.
