Med Center Health Hospitals to Serve as Donation Centers for Toys for Tots
In the coming days, staff at all Med Center Health hospitals, physician practices and other facilities will notice a special addition to their areas. This year, thanks to the dedication of Chris Meredith of Med Center IT, and his daughter, Toys for Tots Youth Ambassador, Darby Meredith, multiple Med Center Health locations will serve as Toys for Tots donation centers through December 18th.
Boxes will be set up beginning this week. We ask that all new, unwrapped toy donations be for children 12 and under. Please do not put any names on the donation. Most importantly, ALL donations stay local to the county where they were given.
Toys for Tots makes a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children in our communities. In 2023, approximately 19,650 children received toys through local Toys for Tots programs in 17 Kentucky counties (Adair, Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Hart, Knott, Letcher, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Perry, Pike, Russell, Simpson, Taylor, Warren). This year, additional counties in Eastern Kentucky have been added due to poverty and flood recovery (Martin, Lawrence, Harlan, Floyd, and Johnson counties).
Families wishing to sign up to receive toys can call 270-562-0518 starting 11/18 through 12/18.
