Collection to help Toys for Tots
Three McCandless volunteer fire departments are joining forces for the sixth annual drive to support Toys for Tots.
Residents can help bring joy to needy kids during the holidays by donating unwrapped toys during any of the following times:
• Tuesday evenings in November from 6 to 7 p.m. at any fire station in McCandless.
• Nov. 27 to 29 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Target parking lot at Pine Creek Plaza, 9805 McKnight Road.
Marshall seeks input from residents
Marshall is asking residents to complete a survey to help guide township officials while developing strategic plans for the future.
Officials said they are seeking ideas about “ways it can improve in the long term, recognizing that those who live and work here can provide valuable information to shape how the Township should continue to develop in the years to come.”
The questionnaire is among several efforts the township will undertake over the next several months to gather input from residents. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and the responses remain anonymous, but residents have the option of providing their name and email address.
The deadline to complete the survey is Dec. 1.

Survey results will be posted online.
