Verification note: Program terms and availability can change. This page was checked against linked sources on November 02, 2026.
Why is there no single national deadline?
Deadlines and sites are set locally, not nationally. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation directs donors to the local campaign finder to find collection sites, drive dates and application details. That local control explains the spread in 2026 dates.
Naperville ends Dec. 12, Uwchlan Township ends Dec. 9 and Crossville collects through Dec.
15. Check your chapter before you shop or drive.

What toys can you bring?
Bring a new, unwrapped toy. That rule applies across the verified 2026 sites in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Some items are restricted.
Reporting on the 2026 drives lists stuffed animals, food, clothing and realistic toy weapons among restricted items. Confirm your chapter's accepted list before you go, since local hubs decide what they can sort and distribute.
How do you confirm your local site?
Start with your ZIP code in the Local Campaign Search tool. It points you to the campaign coordinator, drop sites, hours and deadline for your area. Use these steps for a quick check: Uwchlan Township Police, for example, deliver toys to a local hub in early December.
A toy dropped on the last day may miss sorting for local distribution.
- Enter your ZIP code and open your local campaign page.
- Note the end date, hours and address for your chosen site.
- Buy new and keep it unwrapped, and review restricted items.
- Drop off during listed hours and allow time for early-December hub transfers.
