The UW-River Falls Athletic Department and the UWRF Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is accepting donations for Toys for Tots, a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas.
From Nov. 11 through Dec. 17, 2022, individuals are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Falcon Center (185 Emogene Nelson Ave, River Falls, WI 54022) donation box. Toys for Tots is asking for toys valued at $10 or above. The gifts will then be collected and distributed to children from ages 0-13 in time for the Christmas holiday. Books are also needed (children receive two toys each and three books count as ONE gift). Homemade toys are also accepted.
