Toys For Tots



                                                  Do your part



The program was founded in Los Angeles  by reservist Major William L. Hendricks and wife his wife Diane Hendricks, and since 1947 has help bring Christmas to underprivileged kids. The program is also ran by the United States Marine Corps Reserve.
The mission of the program "is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to underprivileged children in the community in which the campaign is conducted."
The  goal 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."
Remember a little goes a long way and one gift is simply as it is to you may mean the world to some kids.
