Mississippi Blood Services Partners with Toys for Tots to Bring Holiday Cheer to Local Children

Flowood, MS — Mississippi Blood Services (MBS) is proud to announce its annual partnership with Toys for Tots, collecting new, unwrapped toys to help bring Christmas joy to children in need throughout Mississippi. Community members are encouraged to donate now through December 17, 2025 at any of MBS’s donor center locations.

As an official Toys for Tots drop-off partner, MBS has collection boxes available at all three centers:

Flowood Center
115 Tree Street
Flowood, MS 39232

Cleveland Center
609 North Davis Avenue, Suite 101B
Cleveland, MS 38732

Oxford Center
2627 West Oxford Loop, Suite C
Oxford, MS 38655

Each year, MBS donors and staff help ensure that local children receive a gift during the holiday season. This year, MBS has set a goal to fill six donation boxes, continuing its tradition of giving back to the communities it serves.

“We’re honored to partner with Toys for Tots again this year,” said [Spokesperson Name/Title]. “Our donors already make a lifesaving impact by giving blood, and this is another meaningful way they can make a difference for families in need. Every toy brought through our doors helps brighten a child’s Christmas.”

Community members are invited to bring new, unwrapped toys to any MBS center during regular operating hours. Those donating blood are also encouraged to bring a toy during their visit—creating two gifts that change lives in one trip.

Toys for Tots, a national program of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, distributes millions of toys each year to children who might otherwise go without. Mississippi Blood Services is proud to support their mission of spreading hope and holiday cheer.
