Spencer Nichols, a local Edward Jones financial advisor, is supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program by using his office as a drop-off location for this year's toy drive.

Local residents may help make a difference for children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office, 409 Becker Drive in Roanoke Rapids, during regular business hours through December 11. 

Monetary gifts, including gift cards, cannot be accepted.

"Toys for Tots is an extraordinary program that can make a real difference for children in our community," said Nichols . "We're proud to be a part of it again this holiday season."
