Toys for Tots Seeks Donations in Coryell County Through December 12

Toys for Tots coordinators Gunnery Sergeant Zachary Herevia and Gunnery Sergeant Brett Rocca discussed the program's mission and the growing demand for holiday assistance when they spoke with KWTX 4 reporters earlier this week. The campaign is accepting new, unwrapped toys and monetary gifts now through December 12, providing a narrow window for donations as families prepare for the holidays.

Local drop off options span Central Texas, and one Coryell County site is HEB at 2990 U.S. Highway 190 in Copperas Cove. Monetary contributions are also accepted, which coordinators say can be especially effective because cash allows organizers to purchase items that fill gaps in the toy mix and to respond to specific age groups and needs. With six days remaining before the stated deadline, prompt contributions increase the likelihood that gifts will be sorted and distributed in time for holiday outreach.

The program's push comes amid broader cost pressures that have tightened household budgets across the region, raising demand for charitable support at the same time donor calendars are crowded. For Coryell County families, Toys for Tots provides tangible relief during a season when the financial burden of clothing, utilities, and school expenses can squeeze discretionary spending. Local partners, including retailers and community groups, play a central role in collection logistics and volunteer staffing that make distribution possible.

For donors, the logistics are straightforward. New, unwrapped toys can be left at participating collection points, and monetary gifts can be directed to Toys for Tots channels. The Copperas Cove HEB location at 2990 U.S. Highway 190 is one explicit local drop off point. Organizers emphasize timely donations so volunteers can inventory, sort, and allocate gifts to households across Coryell County before distribution.

As the deadline approaches, community participation will determine how many children receive support this season. Residents who can give are asked to consider both physical toys and monetary support, each of which helps the program meet specific needs and extend assistance to more families in the county.
