It's Toys for Tots time at Fallbrook Airpark

Santa's sleigh typically touches down on rooftops, not runways, but four county airports want to help it make that happen – and make this holiday happier for local, less fortunate children.

All residents have to do is drop off a new, unwrapped toy into the Toys for Tots donation boxes at Fallbrook Airpark, McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, Gillespie Field in El Cajon or Ramona Airport in Ramona. Or they can give their donated toy in person to uniformed U.S. Marines at Fallbrook Airpark Saturday, Dec. 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The donation boxes will be open at all four airports through Friday, Dec. 14. All of the toys that are donated will be given to children in San Diego County communities.

Donations can include new, unwrapped toys, bikes, games, dolls, stuffed animals and just about anything that will help brighten up a child's holiday season. Pilots can fly in to deliver their donations at the airports.

With residents' help, the county of San Diego and Marine Corps have been putting smiles on children's faces for years through Toys for Tots. So, get that good holiday, Santa feeling. Drop off a new toy for a child.
