Toys for Tots of McLean County Toy Collection

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.

Other ways to donate include:

  • Toys for Tots Silver Ball at The Castle Theatre on Saturday, November 25
  • Bowling for Toys at Pheasant Lanes on Saturday, December 2
  • Bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Bloomington-Normal Jaycee’s Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 2 to hand to a hero walking with Toys for Tots in the parade!
  • Visit Santa and Mrs. Claus at Santa’s Station on Friday, December 8 from 5 to 7pm in Uptown Normal! Visiting Santa is free, but cash donations are encouraged to benefit Toys for Tots of McLean County!

Labor Day – Expanding voting rights for all

By Mike Matejka Because of COVID, there is no Labor Day Parade this year.  It’s always a great event for our everyday workers to march proudly down the street and enjoys the festive crowd. If there had been a parade, this year’s Labor Day theme was to be “150 years of struggle: your right to vote.” …

Is federal mobilization the answer?

By Mike Matejka As President Donald Trump threatens to send federal marshals into Chicago, over the objections of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, recall another Illinois Governor who protested the incursion of armed federal personnel into the city.   Those federal troops, rather than calming, escalated the situation, leading to deaths and violence. Illinois poet Vachel Lindsay…

In these troubled times, to my fellow white Americans

By Mike Matejka Our nation is at a unique watershed in human relations. African-Americans have been killed too many times in the past before George Floyd, but the response to this man’s death is international and all-encompassing. I was a grade-schooler during the Civil Rights 1960s. I watched Birmingham demonstrators hosed and the Selma – Montgomery…

Workers’ Memorial Day – Remember those whose job took their life

Looking around our community, when we say employer, most will respond to State Farm, Country, or Illinois State University.   We too often forget those who are building our roads, serving our food, or our public employees.
