The trunk of "The Great Pumpkin" is now filled with toys for the Marine's annual Toys for Tots campaign. Due to circumstances beyond my control, my spare funds were stretched ultra thin this year, but I was still able to shop smart and fill the trunk with over 140 toys for the children this year. Unlike my earlier in the fall season donations, these will be delivered this coming Thursday or Friday when the Marines are set up near the main entrance to town. My wife and I have done this for over 20 years and is out way of giving to those children less fortunate than our own.
How about you guys/gals, do you do something similar this time of the year?
Do you do it is style like we do?

At our Model A club's Christmas party we all bring toys for the "Stockings of Love" program and at our AACA club's Christmas party we donate to Toys for Tots. We always have a pretty good stack of toys and cash for them. :)
