The City of Battle Creek is participating in holiday toy collections again this year, and we invite the community to join us in helping support local organizations and local children.
All of these collections accept donations of new, unwrapped toys.

- Station 1 – 195 E. Michigan Ave.
- Station 2 – 145 N. Washington Ave.

- Battle Creek Police are teaming up with the Marine Corps Reserve to host their annual Stuff-a-Truck event for Toys for Tots. This event is set for 5-7 p.m. next Tuesday, Dec. 5 on North Division Street, near Commerce Pointe, across from City Hall and the Police Department. Look for the large SWAT truck!
- We also have a Toys for Tots collection box near the elevator on the first floor of City Hall, 10 N. Division St.
