The Toys for Tots drive is already underway. Last year 900 children in Rutherford County received Christmas wishes from the Marine Corps League's sponsored project. Anyone needing to register children "should do it now" said Stanley. Applications can be received inside the headquarters or online at ToysforTots.org
