Marine Corps Toys for Tots is a charitable program led by the U.S. Marine Corps with a mission to collect and distribute new, unwrapped toys to children in need during the holiday season. Established to ensure that every child experiences the joy of Christmas, the program supports families facing financial hardship by delivering gifts that offer both happiness and hope.

To strengthen and expand its impact, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation was created in 1991. The Foundation manages the program’s fundraising, toy collection, and distribution efforts nationwide. Through strong community partnerships and generous public support, Marine Corps Toys for Tots continues to bring holiday cheer to millions of economically disadvantaged children each year.
