Marine Corps Toys For Tots Serves over 5000 children in four counties in the Tri-State area and it’s time to do it again in 2022. While there are a number of distribution partners that help Toys For Tots reach all of the kids in need in our area, there are two main distributions that are open to the general public in the city of Dubuque.

Links to registrations for both distributions will appear online at dubuquetoys.org as well as the official Toys For Tots website, dubuque-ia.toysfortots.orgas soon as the links are active.

People can register for one or the other distribution, BUT NOT BOTH!

The Dubuque Salvation Army Distribution will take place from December 19-21, at their downtown Dubuque Location at 1099 Iowa Street. Registration for assistance through that program is open from November 7-23.

The Marine Corps Toys For Tots Toys Distribution @ Multicultural Family Center will take place from November 30 - December 15, Monday - Saturday. Registration for that program will open on Wednesday, November 9 at Noon and remain open until all time slots are filled. The registration website is available in multiple languages, but you can also contact the Multicultural Family Center for assistance in registering using their computer lab.
