Make a wish come true, give a new toy

FALLBROOK – The Toys for Tots program is now in full swing. Coldwell Banker Landmark Group is the central location for the toy collection drive co-chaired by Abby Elston and Tess Hansford. The Marine Corps Reserve at Camp Pendleton facilitates by providing boxes, posters and space for storage until toys are put into the awaiting hands of deserving boys and girls.

Boxes are initially distributed to area merchants who are eager participants to help with drop off points. Many organizations have holiday parties and collect toys that also go to the program. Agents at Coldwell Banker Landmark Group then go out as needed to collect the toys to help the Marines use their time efficiently by picking up at one main location.

Many Fallbrook and Bonsall businesses have boxes to collect new unwrapped toys for children of all ages. To find a location, make a monetary tax deductable donation or arrange for pick up of toys, call Elston or Hansford at (760) 728-8000.
