Toys for Tots, a 67 year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to economically disadvantaged children during each holiday season. The toys, books and other gifts collected and distributed by the Marines offer these children recognition, confidence and a positive memory for a lifetime. Last year the Marine Corps fulfilled the holiday hopes and dreams of nearly 7 million less fortunate children in over 760 communities nationwide.
