Town Toy Drive Most Successful Yet

Partnership with U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program sees best results since beginning four years ago.

The Town of Oyster Bay's partnership with the Toys for Tots program received "more donations than ever before" since it started four years ago, according to the Town.

The U.S. Marine Corps-sponsored program was run with the help of Major Chuck Kilbride. It seeks new, unwrapped toys to be delivered to children of less fortunate families.

Donations, including a stuffed Christmas bear several times the size of any toddler who might receive it, were collected at five different Town facilities.
