MANCHESTER, N.H. – New Hampshire’s Congressional Delegation joined New Hampshire Governor Christopher Sununu, U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Warren Ory and other officials to help spread awareness about this year’s Toys for Tots campaign at the Mall of New Hampshire last week.

The program was established in 1947 by U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks and his wife Diane, who were looking for a way to donate dolls to children in need.

Today, there are nearly 40,000 Marines such as Ory and his fellow Marines at Bravo Company in Londonderry helping to gather toys for disadvantaged children during the holiday season.  In 2018, Bravo Company distributed 62,188 to 25,000 children across the state.

In addition to donations at the Mall of New Hampshire, here is a list of Toys for Tots locations in Manchester according to the Toys for Toys website.
