Toys for Tots, a 73-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to disadvantaged children during each Christmas holiday season. The toys collected and distributed by the Marines offer these 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. Presently, the Marine Toys for Tots Program distributes an average of 18 million toys to 7 million less fortunate children annually. Since 1947 over 264 million children have been assisted.
