COLONIE – The U.S. Marine Corps will celebrate the 15th year of its annual holiday train when the Marine Corps Reserves’ Dunkin’ Donuts Toys for Tots Train delivers toys and coats to thousands of children in Upstate New York on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8.

 

To launch the program, Dunkin’ Donuts donated  $30,000 to the Toys for Tots Foundation, bringing its five-year total to $140,000.

This year’s Toys for Tots collection drive will take place at more than 400 locations throughout the Capital Region, including more than 100 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants which will serve as drop-off points for guests wishing to donate new, unwrapped toys.

The Marine Corps Reserves’ Dunkin’ Donuts Toys for Tots Train, presented by Canadian Pacific and Amtrak, will motor its way across 12 communities throughout New York State as the highlight of the Marines’ signature holiday toy drive.

The Marines will work with more than 200 community agencies to distribute toys this holiday season and will be equipped to serve 200,000 children, a 25 percent increase over its previous record.
