West Chester, Pa (November 15, 2023) – To help ensure that every child in our community will have gift to open this holiday season, state Senator Carolyn Comitta is supporting the collection of new, unwrapped toys at her district office for the Toys for Tots program.
“Every child should get to enjoy a new toy this holiday season,” Comitta said. “I hope you will join me in supporting the Toys for Tots program by donating a new, unwrapped toy at the donation box in my district office.”
Donations will be accepted at the donation box in the atrium of Senator Comitta’s district office building at 17 E. Gay Street in downtown West Chester until Wednesday December 6. The office is open during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents can also stop by one of Senator Comitta’s mobile/senior outreach offices to drop off their donations.

“I also want to extend my deep appreciation to the organizers and volunteers with Toys for Tots who help brighten the holidays of thousands of children in our region,” Comitta said.
In 2022, the Chester and Southern Montgomery County Toys for Tots program donated 38,612 toys supporting 16,592 children in our community.
It is one of hundreds of local Toys for Tots campaigns that are conducted annually in over 800 communities covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.
Since 1947, the United State Marine Corps Reserve has operated Toys for Tots, a nonprofit charity, to help distribute toys to families facing financial hardship.
