UT will be participating in the 28th annual US Marine Corps Toys for Tots drive. This year, over 6,000 children will register for assistance, which translates to over 29,000 gifts generously given to help the less fortunate in the Quad Cities. You can help by donating a new, unwrapped toy; simply drop it off in the General Office or Library by Wednesday, December 10th. Two evening field trips open to all UT students to the Toys For Tots Distribution Center are planned for Tuesday, December 2nd, and Wednesday, December 10th, but space is limited to only “25” students per night; pick up permission slips in the library. If you know of a family who may be in need of help this Christmas, they will need to register online at the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots website. Registration ends on November 24th.
