Toys for Tots Drive

Toys for Tots is a long-standing program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve that delivers toys to children whose families may not be able to afford gifts during the holiday season. Founded in 1947 by Marine Corps reservist Major Bill Hendricks, the program began with a simple effort to collect and distribute toys to underprivileged children in Los Angeles. Today, Toys for Tots has grown into a nationwide initiative, distributing millions of toys each year and spreading joy to children across the country. Read more about our Toys for Tots drive here.
