DUBUQUE, Iowa — Oct. 26, 2026 — Registration is now open for families wanting to take part in this year’s Marine Corps Dubuque Toys for Tots campaign, organizers announced on Oct. 26, 2026.

Families can find registration details through the campaign’s website at dubuquetoys.org. A registration deadline was not stated in the announcement and remains pending.

The annual campaign collects new, unwrapped toys for children in need in the Dubuque area. Details on toy drop-off locations and distribution days were not included in the Oct. 26, 2026, announcement and remain pending.
