TO DONATE BY CREDIT CARD:

Credit card donations are accepted through the Toys For Tots Foundation web site at:

            www.toysfortots.org

Click on the "Donate Online" button and fill in the form.  A couple of notes:

    1. This is a slow loading site...if you get impatient, as soon as you see the button, click it

    2. It is important that we on the Central Coast get credit for your credit donation as it is "allocated" to our account and we can in turn use the money to buy needed toys locally.  BUT...we need to tell Quantico (Marine HQ) that the donation is to be credited to us.  SO..if you would please send a brief email to our managing Director Barbara giving her the amount, she will notify the Foundation to credit our account.

    THANK YOU
