Donate To 'Toys For Tots'

Every year I get toys to drop off at a 'Toys For Tots' drop off center. As a mother myself, I know how a child's face lights up when they get a toy on Christmas morning.

Toys For Tots is a charity that is run by the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve, with the assistance of his staff, from the Marine Forces Reserve Headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana.

At Christmas, Coordinators, with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies, distribute the toys to the less fortunate children of the community. Over the years, Marines have established close working relationships with social welfare agencies, churches and other local community agencies which are well qualified to identify the needy children in the community and play important roles in the distribution of the toys.

Local toy collection campaigns begin in October and last until mid to late December.

Please donate to Toys For Tots here or find your local drop off center here in your community.
