U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots Program


The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots Program was founded by Major Bill Hendricks with the support of the Marine Corps Reserve Unit in Los Angeles in 1947. At that time, they collected 5,000 toys for needy children. It was so successful that in 1948 the Marine Corps adopted it and expanded it nationwide as the U.S. MARINE CORPS RESERVE TOYS FOR TOTS PROGRAM. The Toys For Tots program is the Marine Corps' premier community action program. Click on the link below to learn how you can help in your area or to make a donation.
