2025 Toys for Tots of the Tri-States
Make a Donation
Since 1947, the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program has been making its mission to collect new & unwrapped toys and distribute them to needy children. Last year, local Toys for Tots efforts benefited over 2,400 kids throughout Des Moines, Lee, Henry, Louisa, Henderson, Hancock, and Clark counties of Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.
We welcome you to join us at Bickel's and help make a child’s Christmas extra special by donating a new bicycle, helmet, or cash towards these items to the 20th Annual Toys for Tots Semis of Love drive at HyVee on Agency in Burlington, IA, and Shottenkirk GM Giant in Fort Madison, IA, on Friday, December 5th & Saturday, December 6th.
Professional Assembly, Free Delivery
All Toys for Tots bicycles are professionally assembled by our veteran team of mechanics and offered at special reduced pricing. For your convenience, these bicycles will be delivered free of charge on December 5 & 6, 2025.
Cash Donations are also accepted and will be combined for bicycle and helmet donations!
*If you miss either of the initial HyVee or Shottenkirk toy drives, Bickel's will make another special delivery the following weekend prior to distributions.*
