Believe it or not, the holidays are right around the corner, and the Marine Toys for Tots program is gearing up to collect items for kids in the Mahoning Valley.

People can donate toys at drop off locations around the Valley beginning Friday, November 1. Donations will be collected through December 6. Toys for Tots requests that the toys are new and unwrapped.
