Local Edward Jones Financial Advisor Maria Naqishbandi is supporting the United States Marines Toys for Tots program by using her office as a drop-off location for this year's toy drive.

Local residents may help needy children in the area by bringing in a new, unwrapped toy to the office, located at 361 Main Street, the former Majestic Mattress building, during regular business hours beginning November 29.

"With the holiday season around the corner, we are all getting ready for the festivities," Maria said. "And as this is the season of giving, now is a great time to remember the less fortunate in our community."
