Across the Nation, 41% of our children live at or below the poverty level. These children face obstacles and hardships every day of the year, and their parents struggle to provide even the basic necessities. As the holiday season approaches, parents are feeling the effects of record-high inflation more than ever – they simply don’t have the means to buy gifts for their bright-eyed and hopeful children.
Marine Toys for Tots passionately believes that no child should ever have to face the challenges associated with living in poverty – and we want to put smiles on their faces and hope in their hearts. That is why we strive to be a year-round force for good and deliver joy to children no matter the time of year.
As part of our Program’s year-round mission, we continue to look for ways to provide comfort and emotional relief to children living in poverty. October 17th was Child Poverty Day, and Toys for Tots fully understands that needs are not seasonal and continue throughout the year. We want to amplify how critical it is to provide hope and joy at Christmastime -- and beyond -- to these children. Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders and together, we can provide hope for a brighter tomorrow and remind them that, no matter their circumstances, no doors are closed to them in life.
Support Marine Toys for Tots today to help us expand their horizons and give them the tools they need to learn and grow. Because that’s the unparalleled power of play: its ability to stretch imaginations, spur development, and help America’s children dream big.
A better, brighter chapter is possible for economically disadvantaged children when our supporters contribute in honor of Child Poverty Day. Together, we can turn the page on poverty. The support you provide today will provide a lifetime of nourishment to the minds of our Nation's children – and put joy in their hearts. Visit https://secure.toysfortots.
About Marine Toys for Tots
Toys for Tots, a 76-year national charitable Program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides year-round joy, comfort, and hope to economically disadvantaged children across the Nation through the gift of a new toy or book. The impact of these toys and books offers disadvantaged 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. Since 1947, the Program has evolved and grown exponentially having delivered hope and the magic of Christmas to over 291 million children in need. Because the need isn’t just at Christmastime, the Toys for Tots Program also provides support year-round to families experiencing challenges and exceptional circumstances, thus fulfilling the hopes and dream of millions of disadvantaged children beyond the holidays. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a not-for-profit organization authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Department of Defense to provide fundraising and other necessary support for the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.
