....BECAUSE EVERY CHILD DESERVES A LITTLE CHRISTMAS.
Last year, the Marine Toys for Tots Program fulfilled the Christmas holiday dreams of 7 million children in need.
Sadly, they ran out of toys before they ran out of children.
Help us deliver a message of hope by donating to Toys for Tots.
Created in 1947 and expanded nationwide in 1948, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is an official activity of the U.S. Marine Corps and the Marine Corps’ premiere community action program. From 1947-2018, U.S. Marines distributed 566 million toys to over 258 million less fortunate children. Today, Toys for Tots is the nation’s flagship Christmas charitable cause with local Toys for Tots campaigns conducted from October through December each year in over 800 communities throughout the nation.
