Toys for Tots is expanding its reach in the Binghamton area, and will have a full-time presence.

The national program is run by the U.S. Marine Corps and has been bringing toys to kids in need for more than seven decades.

Last year, 15,000 toys were given to local children with the help of volunteers and non-profits.

"Now that 15,000 could very easily be 30,000 or 50,000, that's really what we're planning on. We think the need's going to fall somewhere in the forty to fifty thousand children that we could provide for," said Staff Sergeant Patrick Lorenz.

You can help the campaign by dropping off a toy at any Dunkin' in Broome County. If you'd like to volunteer click right here to find out more.
