Toys for Tots, the annual campaign organized by the Marine Corps League to provide holiday gifts for children who might go without, has returned for its 31st year in Philipstown. Now known as the Anthony Phillips Toys for Tots Memorial Drive, it is promoted locally by the Knights of Columbus, Loretto Council No. 536.

New, unwrapped toys can be donated through Dec. 17 at B&L Deli, Boscobel and the North Highlands Fire Department in Philipstown, the Butterfield Library, Drug World, Foodtown and Downey Energy in Cold Spring, and Deb’s Hair Salon in Nelsonville.

The toys will be distributed from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 20 to Philipstown residents at the Cold Spring Fire House. For more information, call Dan Dillon at 845-519-7769.
