Toys for Tots is a beloved charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve that has been bringing joy, comfort, and hope to children in need for 75 years. Every year, we collect and distribute new toys and books to less fortunate kids across the country, making a real difference in their lives.

The gifts we provide—especially during the holiday season—help children feel valued and special, creating positive memories that last a lifetime. These experiences not only brighten their holidays but also encourage them to grow into caring, responsible citizens in their communities.

Since its inception, Toys for Tots has delivered hope and holiday magic to over 281 million children! In our 77th year, we’re excited to continue expanding our efforts. We now offer support year-round to families facing challenges, ensuring that we fulfill the hopes and dreams of millions of children nationwide.
