The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots program in Chattooga County has officially opened registration for families seeking assistance with Christmas gifts for their children this holiday season. The first sign-up session is being held today, Saturday, October 11, 2025, providing an early opportunity for local families to participate.

All registration sessions are scheduled at the Summerville Recreation Center, located on Hwy 100 in Summerville, GA 30747. Sessions will run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the following dates:

• Today, Saturday, October 11, 2025
• Saturday, November 22, 2025
• Saturday, November 29, 2025

Families are strongly encouraged to attend one of these dates to ensure their children are registered for the program. It is important to note that the absolute last day to sign up for toys will be November 30, 2025. No registrations will be accepted after this date.

To be eligible for the Toys for Tots program, registrants must ensure that they are signing up only for children who currently live in their home and are in their direct custody. This policy helps the program verify need and distribute toys fairly within the community.

For any questions regarding eligibility, required documentation, or the Toys for Tots program in Chattooga County, residents are invited to contact Christie William directly at 706-859-1140.

The Toys for Tots program relies on the generosity of the community through donations and volunteers to fulfill its mission each year. Further announcements regarding toy drop-off locations and volunteer opportunities will be made in the coming weeks.
