Toys for Tots of Washington County and The Salvation Army of Barre have joined forces to maximize assistance for local families this holiday season. As financial situations become increasingly difficult for many, it could result in no toys under someone’s Christmas tree. It is the Marines and The Salvation Army’s mission to spread joy and cheer to the children of our community.

If you live in Washington County, are in need, and have children in your home, come sign-up for Christmas toys and clothes at The Salvation Army at 25 Keith Ave in Barre. Remember to bring proof of residence and proof of income.

Please come to the Salvation Army in Barre at one of the following times:

• Oct 29th, 10am -12pm

• Oct 30th, 10am -12pm

• Nov 11th, 10am -12pm or 4pm-6pm

• Nov 12th, 10am -12pm

• Dec 2nd, 10 am -12pm

There is also an additional special sign-up day for residents of the Warren, Waitsfield, Moretown, Waterbury area:

•  Wednesday, Nov. 6th, 1pm – 3pm at The Community of the Crucified One Church, 20 Vermont Route 100, Moretown.

All families must sign up at one of these times to participate in the Toys for Tots program.

When you sign up, you will be given a number and a time to come and get your toys, clothes & gift cards for food on Dec. 20th. You will also be given the address for the warehouse at this time.

Thanks to all who support Toys for Tots and The Salvation Army as they work together to serve our neighbors in need.
