CCRI Hosts Toys for Tots Drop-off Till Dec. 19

WARWICK, RI – The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) has joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and the Salvation Army in the annual Toys for Tots campaign, ending Dec. 19.

“Every year, CCRI serves as a trusted collection site, rallying our community to ensure that children across Rhode Island experience the magic and warmth of the season,” the community college stated in an announcement about the program.

CCRI invites students, faculty, staff, and community members to drop off new, unwrapped toys at any of the school’s campuses. Decorated collection boxes are located at campus entrances and security desks, making it easy to participate in this tradition of giving. The CCRI Veterans Services Office is also helping champion this year’s effort, continuing their longstanding commitment to service and community engagement.

In a special expansion of our partnership, CCRI’s Warwick Campus is honored to serve as an official distribution site for Toys for Tots December 16-19. Working alongside the U.S. Marines Corps Reserve and the Salvation Army, CCRI will host families as they select gifts for their children in a warm, welcoming holiday environment.

During distribution week, families will be greeted and escorted by a U.S. Marine Corps Reservist through the CCRI Field House—an experience designed to make every parent feel supported and every child’s holiday season a little brighter.
