New this year! Rhodes Hall is now an official Toys for Tots collection site!

We’re excited to support this wonderful program, which provides new, unwrapped toys to children in need during the holiday season. Toys for Tots, run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, works to ensure every child experiences the joy of Christmas by collecting and distributing donated gifts throughout the local community.

You can help make a difference by dropping off new, unwrapped toys at Rhodes Hall — either during our Santa event or anytime during regular office hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Every donation — big or small — brings holiday cheer to a child who might otherwise go without.
