One dollar may not seem like much... but it could bring a smile to a child's face this holiday season.

Dollar Tree has partnered up with Operation Home Front for the fourth year in the row.

Their purpose is to collect as many toys as possible for kids whose parents are in the military.

There is a collection box at each store and for only a dollar... you can pick out a toy and drop it in the box.

The toys will then be passed out to military kids throughout Missouri during Christmas.

If you would like to purchase a toy and donate it, you still have time; the program runs until December 6th.

Operation Home Front’s goal is to collect 5 million toys nationwide this year.
