| Q:What is required to register children for toys? |
The Salvation Army in DeKalb requires a form be completed which provides the information about the family and children. Additionally, this program is needs based and requires sufficient documentation to demonstrate the family and children are eligible for the program.
Lastly, in order to ensure all registered families are supported, Toys for Tots and Salvation Army cross-check with other organizations in the area to ensure families are only able to receive donations once. |

| Q:How can you help the Toys for Tots program? |
The Toys for Tots program is successful because people and companies donate toys and funds to the program. Hence, anyone can start a collection program to collect new, unwrapped toys and/or funds. Contact your Sycamore Toys for Tots coordinator for ideas and resources (posters, collection boxes, give-away items, etc.).
Additionally, volunteers are needed the week of Christmas to help with setting up the distribution facilities at the Salvation Army in DeKalb. |
