November 17-December 21

The joy of living is in the giving
So let's give lots of toys for tots
Toys, toys, toys for tots.
You can be a Santa if you will lend a hand.
Yessirree, there never will be an empty stocking in the land.

Some have too many, some haven't any.
If those who have give those who haven't
Oh, what a Christmas Day!
The Marine Reserve will help you, will help you fill your sleigh.
With lots and lots of toys for tots
So give a little toy today.

~ recorded by Nat “King” Cole, Vic Damone and Peggy Lee

Join KIRO 7 and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve for the 61st anniversary of the Toys for Tots program. Sponsored by Quiznos, we’re collecting gifts for families in need, in particular the economically disadvantaged children in our community. The need is for more than 200,000 toys this season.

Thanks to Quiznos, by helping us brighten a child’s holiday, you’ll get a treat, too! Bring new unwrapped toys to any participating Quiznos through December 21 and receive a free small fountain drink and chips with the purchase of a regular or large sub.* Go to Quiznos, for a list of participating stores.

We’ve also teamed up with USO Puget Sound, whose volunteers will pick up your donations at Quiznos and bring them to the Marines’ warehouse, where they’ll be sorted and prepared for the many families that need our support. To find out more about supporting the 3 million men and women in uniform and their families, go to USO Puget Sound.

You can also bring your toys to the KIRO 7 studios weekdays through December 19. And, join us for our Toys for Tots Drive on Friday, December 12. Warm 106.9 will broadcast live throughout the day as KIRO 7 personalities, USMC personnel and Quiznos and USO volunteers accept your donations. Bring your toys and share the warm holiday spirit!

Together, we can help make the holidays happy for children and families in our community. Thank you for your generosity.

*Not valid with purchase of $5 Deli Favorite subs.



About USO Puget Sound Area
For over 3 million of our men and women in uniform and their families, the USO centers in the Puget Sound area have provided moral support, important services and the comforts of home to traveling military members. Since 1966, thousands of dedicated USO Puget Sound Area (USOPSA) volunteers have worked around the clock at the SeaTac Airport and McChord Air Force Base USO centers offering acts of gratitude and generosity.

As a private, nonprofit 501 (c)(3), the USOPSA does not receive money from the U.S. government, but depends solely on donations from individuals, businesses and corporations, and designated donations from the United Way/Combined Federal Campaign. Join USOPSA to guarantee that America’s military members and their families know how much their service means to those whom they defend.
