Holiday Help in Mason County: Toys for Tots with Marcus Kennedy

Toys for Tots in Mason County is gearing up for a busy December, and the need is higher than usual. Jeff talks with Marcus Kennedy, one of the local coordinators, about how many kids rely on the program each year, how the donations stay local, and why teens are often the most overlooked age group when it comes to gifts.

Marcus shares how he and his wife got involved back in 2017–18, how the program has grown, and what the donation process looks like from collection day to distribution at Mountain View.

This Saturday, Toys for Tots volunteers will be downtown at First and Railroad from 10–2 during the Christmastown events, taking toy and cash donations. They’ll also appear in the parade, and drop-boxes are available at many Mason County businesses including OCCU and Walmart.

If you’re able, consider adding an extra toy to your shopping list this weekend—especially something suited for teens. Every donation stays in Mason County and goes straight to local families.

Links and ways to donate or request assistance are in the show notes.
