MISSION STATEMENT:
The Marine Toys for Tots program collects new, unwrapped toys during October, November, and December. These toys make a tremendous difference in the lives of the children and families that receive them gratefully.
Hope is the key, and hope is what the Marine Corps Reserve can give through the Toys for Tots program. These toys' distribution is a simple gift and brings joy and happiness to the children in need.
The Marine Toys for Tots team works very hard to make the campaign a success, but we could not do it without the help of concerned citizens, business leaders, and the local community. We rely on local businesses and organizations for assistance in several areas, including volunteers, drop off locations and toy collection, hosting events, and toy distribution.
We are looking forward to working with all of you this year to make this the most successful year ever! We have several toy box sponsors and volunteer groups, so organization and communication are the keys to success!

Christmas is a time of joy, happiness, and goodwill. It is a time of giving and helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves, especially impoverished children. For over half a century, one organization - the U.S. Marine Corps - is the unchallenged leader in looking after America's needy children during the Christmas season. Without your support and assistance, this could not be possible.
