Toys for Tots bins are a familiar sight every holiday season.
The giving season is here, and Toys for Tots is an easy way to participate in the season. Many local businesses have the familiar bin in store and any new unwrapped toy is accepted. This wonderful program is The Marines’ way of delivering hope to children at Christmas time.
Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve that distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. This program of giving was founded in 1947 by reservist Major Bill Hendricks. The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November, and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
If interested in requesting a toy, donating toys, or donating online go to toysfortots.org. A big Thank you to the United States Marine Corps. Reserve.
