FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Applications, which can be found here , are now open for Allen County’s Toys for Tots program.
For the program, which was suspended locally in 2024 , this brings another step in its return.
The suspension was the result of ‘no individual or organization stepping up’ to run the program in Allen County, according to a Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots spokesperson.
This year, MidWest America Federal Credit Union and its Assistant Vice President of Human Resources, Andrea Ainsworth, are leading the efforts.
With more than 6,000 children in Allen County part of the program in 2023, they say they expect the need this year to be significant.
Donations have been accepted since October , with approximately 100 local businesses participating in the process.
