"Toys for Tots" is underway having officially kicked off this week. And the Acton Police Department already has its drop-off bins set up at the station. 

Put on by the Marine Corps with help from sponsors, including the Massachusetts State Police, the program provides new toys for children who otherwise might not have anything under the tree.

Toys should be:

  • new
  • unwrapped
  • non-violent
  • designed for either boys or girls ages newborn to 12
There are tons of places to drop off your donations. They include every State Police barracks, Toys R Us store, Sullivan Tire store and Walgreens location.

Here are lists of drop-off points by county and town:
The last day to drop off your donated toys are Saturday, Dec. 14.
