Toys for Tots is synonymous with helping the less fortunate so all families can have presents on Christmas. Unfortunately Scotland County’s T.F.T. program, they’re in severe need of support more than ever as they face a financial crisis that is hindering operations.
We are in need of a distribution site and we are in great need of monetary means. We, right now, are currently down to only $1,000 for the county and we’re in desperate need of help.
This is very crucial — I can’t stress enough how badly we are in dire need of help this year.
While monetary means are causing struggles for Scotland’s T.F.T. program, I have been reaching out to find much-needed assistance.
We’re currently trying to reach out to all the businesses and churches we can to see if they offer a distribution site that we can use.
But again, I have to stress that we desperately need monetary needs for the county, I can say that we have, in the past, Blue Diamond has reached out to me, wanting to do a car show and I’m thankful for that!
If any Marines can fit in their dress Blues and want to help us out at car show please reach out
Registration closed on the 15th of October and we have over a hundred children to provide for.
Those interested in helping can always go to the website —inner-coastal -plain-nc.toysfortots.org
Everything can be done through the site to make sure that Scotland County gets their portion. The struggle for funds is understandable considering the times, but one that has meant a huge hurdle to meet needs locally.
Well, as you know, we’re coming out of the pandemic so everything is still expensive and everything has gone up, then for the parents, you could be having money one day and then the next day you can lose your job or something else happens. People just have different reasons why they need some help and we’re there to fill that gap. So that’s why it’s always so important for us to be that go-to person at this time of the year.
With that being said I ask the people in the community to reach into their hearts and be sympathetic more than ever. Please help us out, so we in turn can continue to help those in need.
