It’s that time of year again. The Mountain Communities Family Resource Center (MCFRC) is coordinating the Toys for Tots program for the families of our community.

For those of you who would like to contribute toys, please be on the lookout for the decorated Toys for Tots boxes at local mountain businesses, distributed by our local Boy Scouts.

You can also drop new unwrapped toys at the MCFRC (located at 3015 Mt Pinos Way in Frazier Park).

All toy donations need to be in by December 12.

Each year the Family Resource Center staff is impressed by the generosity of our mountain residents. This is such a worthwhile program that makes the holidays a little brighter for families who are struggling to help their children enjoy the magic of the season.

All toys contributed by our community stay local!

If you have any questions about Toys for Tots, please call the Family Resource Center at 245-4303.
