Marine Corp's Toys for Tots Program held a donation drive to collect holiday gifts for families in need and people in the borough certainly delivered.

A celebration highlighting the event was held at the American Legion in Whitestone on Thursday night.

Representatives from the local the Marine Corp league say they started the campaign just before Halloween and collected about 15 thousand dollars worth of toys.

They say this was one of the biggest collections in the five decades they have been holding the drive.

All the gifts will be handed out to children in need and those in hospitals and orphanages.
