For more than 30 years, the Marine Corps Reserve and WKOW TV has partnered with the Toys for Tots program with the mission to distribute new toys, books and other gifts to Dane County families in need – so that everyone may experience the joy of the season. This year marks the third year of our partnership with United Way of Dane County! With their help, we’re better able to determine which families are most in need – and we’ve implemented a new toy distribution process that ensures we’re making the greatest possible difference. This new process does not include a distribution at The Alliant Energy Center. Instead, we’ve teamed up with several nonprofit organizations and local school districts who can more adequately assess the families who meet the spirit and intent of the Toys for Tots program. These partners are currently leading outreach to families in need.
 
If your family is in need of assistance this holiday season and are not contacted directly by one of our partners, please call United Way’s 211 helpline to learn about other ways you can secure gifts for your kids this year.
