Tyson Hein, the local Edward Jones financial advisor, is supporting the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program by using his office as a drop-off location for this year’s toy drive.
Local residents may help needy children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office at 1019 River St Suite 6 during regular business hours, through December 15th.
“With the holiday season around the corner, we are all getting ready for the festivities,” Hein said. “And as this is the season of giving, now is a great time to remember the less fortunate in our community.”
