With the holiday season just around the corner, it's easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle that this time of year brings. Therefore, as you begin to make your holiday purchases, we ask that you consider donating to a local Allstate agency's Toys for Tots donation drive. All donations collected will go to local families in the community they were collected in.

Since 1947 the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program has rallied local communities to collect new, unwrapped toys for less fortunate children within the community they are collected. Since inception, Toys for Tots has distributed 548 million toys, supporting 251 children.

Between now and Friday, Dec. 7, Allstate agencies throughout Maine will be designated donation drop-off sites for Toys for Tots. To schedule a donation drop-off, please contact your local Allstate agency owner.
