Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity is the fund raising, funding and support organization for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The Foundation was created at the behest of the U. S. Marine Corps and provides support in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve, who directs the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The Foundation has supported Toys for Tots since 1991.
The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
**The primary mission of this year’s Toys for Tots local campaign program is to fill the toy requests for local non for profit organizations such as your local church or youth organization. Once all organization requests are fulfilled we will be able to have a family distribution day only if toys are available. To ensure you receive toys for this Christmas season it is suggested that you find a local organization who receives from Toys for Tots and request toys through that organization.
DEADLINE FOR ALL NON-PROFIT TOY REQUEST is 12 December 2014.
