Each year Toys for Tots of McLean County collects and distributes toys to thousands of children in need in our area.
The 2023 Toys for Tots campaign kicks off on November 10th but WJBC and O’Brien Nissan are getting an early start to help make this the best year yet!
Bring your new, unwrapped toys donations to O’Brien Nissan (2029 Ireland Grove Rd. in Bloomington) or the WJBC studios (236 Greenwood Ave. in Bloomington) for the kids in our area.
Toys of Tots knows that no child deserves to wake up on Christmas morning without a toy under their tree and we are asking for your help this holiday season to make it special for the kids in McLean County.

- Toys for Tots Silver Ball at The Castle Theatre on Saturday, November 25
