Tex Reynolds' Toys for Tots
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS, OUR WORKSHOP IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Please refrain from donating toys until we resume operations.
Thank you for understanding!
A helping hand for kids during the Holidays for over 85 years!
Tex Reynolds’ Toys for Tots is a non-profit organization with the sole purpose of ensuring every needy child in the Racine County area has a wonderful holiday season. It is a challenging goal that takes, not only the hundreds of volunteers working at the Toys for Tots workshop and from home, but also the thousands of families that donate unneeded, unused or repairable toys to the program each year. We also accept new toys and monetary donations of any amount.
Ours is a story of helping hands trying to improve the quality of life in our community. We hope that you will read our story and join in our quest. There are many aspects of the Toys for Tots program where your skills and talents (regardless of what they might be) can be utilized. Our volunteers work hard throughout the year, but it is a fun journey.
PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE MARINE CORPS TOYS FOR TOTS.
Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus and our workshop being closed since mid-March, we are unable to distribute toys/gifts for Christmas 2020. Hopefully, we will be back in operation in early 2021 and can proceed with preparations for Christmas gift-giving 2021.
