Toys For Tots

Pistons owner, Tom Gores, returned home to Flint Monday and held a huge Toys For Tots event.

On behalf of the Flint community, THANK YOU!

Her birthday was back in October, but she had plans for Christmas already.

This happens every year, and every year, it makes our good news.

The toys were moved yesterday from the union's headquarters to Flint' Toys for Tots.

We were SO HAPPY that Lockhart Roofing asked us to be a part of this!

The toys were handed out to over 100 families at his alma mater, Genesee High School, on Wednesday.

The Gores family has been providing toys for kids in the area since 2009.

If Joe Abbott had done this 24 hours ago, he would have had unseasonably warm weather to collect toys and financial donations for Toys For Tots. Instead, he and his helpers are doing all they can to stay warm during his 7th annual toy collection effort. He plans to stay outside from 9 pm to 9 am in front of Little Joe's bar and restaurant in Grand Blanc.

Skateland Arena invites you to come out and have some fun on wheels while helping needy folks in our area at the same time. This Saturday (November 5th) from 1-7 pm you will get free admission with the donation of either: 2 non-perishable food items, a new unwrapped toy or a new or gently used coat.

The "Marines Taking Care of Kids" organization might find itself without a home, and that could mean more challenges for the "Toys for Tots" program that needs the space to store toys for the holiday. "Toys for Tots" gets free office and storage space from the Marines, and although they work hand in hand, they don't share finances.
