San Diego, CA–The County of San Diego and the U.S. Marine Corps have partnered to bring joy to local families this holiday season.

Toys for Tots donation boxes will be on-site at McClellan Palomar Airport, 2192 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad, Gillespie Field, 1960 Joe Crosson Drive in El Cajon, Fallbrook Airpark, 2155 Air Park Road in Fallbrook, Ramona Airport, 2450 Montecito Road in Ramona, and Borrego Valley Airport, 1820 Palm Canyon Drive in Borrego Springs.
