Toys for Tots Registration This Weekend

The City of Jackson and the U.S. Marine Corps has announced its annual child signup for the coming holiday season. Registration will be held at the Jackson Medical Mall near the Subway Sandwich Shop (350 W. Woodrow Wilson Drive) on Saturday, Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 8 from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m.

Organizers will require the following documentation, no exceptions:

• Drivers license or government issued ID for parent or guardian
• Social Security card for parent or guardian
• Proof of income and proof of residence (utility bill, etc.)
• Birth certificate and Social Security card for each child (ages 0 to 12 years)

Children registered with the Salvation Army are not eligible for the Toys for Tots program.

Operating since 1947, the primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens, and allow children to experience the joy of the season.
