Toys for Tots, a 78-year National charitable Program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides joy, comfort, and hope to economically disadvantaged children across the Nation through the gift of a new toy or book at Christmastime. The impact of these toys and books offers economically disadvantaged children recognition, confidence, and a positive memory for a lifetime. It is such experiences that help children become responsible citizens and caring members of their community. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a not-forprofit organization authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Department of Defense to provide fundraising and other necessary support for the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.
