From Michael Miller, Toys for Tots chairman, Iron Mountain:

The Toys for Tots season has concluded and on behalf of all the Marines, Navy Corpsman and volunteers of this year’s Toys for Tots team, we want to thank everyone who helped make this one of our best.

Whether you dropped a quarter into one of our many coin containers or placed a toy into one of our collection boxes, every toy and every dollar made a difference to a less-fortunate child. As always, we promise to stay local. Every dollar raised and every toy donated stayed in the Iron/Dickinson County area.

Your donations helped us distribute 1,396 toys to 399 children. This year, we were especially blessed to have so many partners — Stephens Realty, Coleman Engineering, Walmart, Shopko, Growmaxx, Lafaive Oil, Auto Value, Lake Shore Industries, Bianco’s Fitness, Miller Products, Kingsford Public Service and the Balsam Street Christian Church all helped us reach these children.

On behalf of 399 smiling Christmas-morning faces, thank you.
