If you need more than Santa Claus to help make your family's Christmas more merry, organizations in Door and Kewaunee counties are making their lists now. The Door County Toys for Kids Drive officially opened its registration earlier this week after serving more than 560 families last year thanks to approximately 90 businesses collecting gifts and monetary donations. Door County families can register their families before the distribution dates of December 14th in Sturgeon Bay and December 15th in Sister Bay. Kewaunee County opened its Toys for Tots registration on November 1st, and Kewaunee County residents were encouraged to call the Kewaunee County Public Health Department to apply. Over 30 Kewaunee County businesses will collect toys before its distribution date on December 21st. Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski asks families not to feel bad about asking for extra help if money is tight at home.
Since 1991, when the U.S. Marine Toys for Tots program was created at the behest of the Marine Corps, it has distributed more than 677 million toys to 301 million children. Below are additional links and information for the Door County Toys for Kids and the Kewaunee County Toys for Tots programs.
