ABOUT TOYS FOR TOTS

The 2023 holiday season marks the 76th anniversary of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. Since its inception in 1947, Toys for Tots has distributed more than 600 million toys to more than 281 million children in need.

In addition to being a flagship children’s Christmas charity, Marine Toys for Tots assists families in need year-round.

The Toys for Tots Literacy Program was launched in 2008 to close the reading gap and help improve academic success by providing books to children in difficult circumstances.

The Toys for Tots Foster Care Initiative, launched in 2022, provides tangible signs of hope to children living in foster care with the goal of reducing their anxiety and making a positive impact in their lives.
