How to Make a Child’s Christmas Brighter with Toys for Tots
Christmas is a time of joy and celebration for many families, but not everyone is fortunate enough to afford gifts for their children. That’s why Toys for Tots, a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, exists. Toys for Tots distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas, bringing them hope and happiness in this festive season.
What is Toys for Tots?
Toys for Tots is a national charitable program that was founded in 1947 by Major Bill Hendricks, a Marine reservist and public relations officer. He was inspired by his wife, Diane, who wanted to donate a handmade doll to a child in need, but could not find a suitable organization to do so. Hendricks decided to start his own program, and with the help of his fellow Marines, collected and distributed 5,000 toys to children in Los Angeles that year.
Since then, Toys for Tots has grown to become one of the largest and most successful toy drives in the country, reaching millions of children every year. The program is supported by the Marine Corps Reserve, the Marine Corps League, local businesses, civic groups, and volunteers. The mission of Toys for Tots 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.”
How to Donate to Toys for Tots?
Donating to Toys for Tots is easy and rewarding. You can make a difference in a child’s life by following these simple steps:
- Find a local Toys for Tots campaign near you by visiting the official website and entering your zip code or state.
- Choose a new, unwrapped toy that is appropriate for a child of any age or gender. You can also check the suggested toy list for some ideas.
- Drop off your toy at a designated collection site, such as a participating business, school, church, or fire station. You can also host your own toy drive or event and register it with Toys for Tots online.
- Alternatively, you can make a monetary donation online or by mail, and let Toys for Tots purchase toys on your behalf. You can also donate through Amazon Smile or eBay for Charity, and select Toys for Tots as your preferred charity.
How to Receive Toys from Toys for Tots?
If you are a parent or guardian of a child who needs a toy for Christmas, you can request one from Toys for Tots by following these steps:
- Contact your local Toys for Tots coordinator by visiting the official website and entering your zip code or state.
- Fill out an online application form or visit a local distribution center to register your child. You will need to provide proof of identity, residence, and income, as well as the child’s name, age, and gender.
- Pick up your toy at the assigned location and date. You will need to bring your confirmation number and identification.
- Enjoy the smile on your child’s face when they open their gift on Christmas morning!
Why Donate to Toys for Tots?
Donating to Toys for Tots is more than just giving a toy. It is giving a child a chance to experience the joy of Christmas, the magic of childhood, and the hope for a better future. It is also giving yourself a sense of satisfaction, gratitude, and generosity. As the Toys for Tots motto says, “Every child deserves a little Christmas.”
