The Mariners’ Museum and Park (100 Museum Dr., Newport News) is hosting its annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots toy drive to send a message of hope for children in need. Please bring a new, unwrapped toy for a child during the museum’s open hours and place it in the donation box in the main lobby. Toys for children 8 and over are always particularly needed. Donations accepted at the museum from Tuesday, Nov. 8, through Sunday, Dec. 11, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
