Griffiss Institute is a Collection Site for Toys for Tots Program

GI is a collections site for Toys for Tots Program

The Griffiss Institute is happy to announce that we are once again a Marine Toys for Tots Foundation Collection Site.

There are 15.5 million children living in poverty across the U.S. and Toys for Tots is hoping to deliver the joy of Christmas to as many of those children as possible, but they can’t do that without your support. If you are willing and able to do so, please consider a donation.

You can create special memories for less fortunate children in the Central New York and Mohawk Valley areas this Christmas.

You can drop off a new, unwrapped toy to the GI, anytime, Monday – Friday, 9am – 4pm.
