Meeting/Event Information

We will welcome Jim Mills, local coordinator for Toys for Tots Washington County, MD.

Founded in 1991, the Marine Toys for Tots foundation was created at the behest of the U.S. Marine Corps. 

MISSION:
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 less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

GOAL:
The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.

Not required, but please feel free to bring and new, unwrapped toy to donate.  *Note our toughest age group is boys and girls 6-12 years old.  We are historically low in those age groups.

          Hope to See You There!
