The residents of the Kansas Juvenile Corrections Complex donated close to $3,000 for the Toys for Tots program this year. The program is administered by the Marine Toys for Tots, and the organization sent a group of Marines to accept the donation.

While at KJCC to pick up the toys, games and sporting equipment, the Marines spent some time with the young residents talking about their futures and where the toys would be going.

Giving our residents the opportunity to give back is an important part of learning to make better choices in life. An unexpected and equally impactful bonus was the chance to have such outstanding role models visit with the residents and thank them for their generosity.
