This Christmas marks the 78th anniversary of our Toys for Tots Holiday Campaign? 🎁

Back in 1947, Major Bill Hendricks and his wife Diane launched the very first toy drive, starting with an assortment of hand-sewn dolls. Their mission? To bring toys—and a whole lot of joy—to children in need at Christmas.

What began as a humble, local effort has since grown into a beloved nationwide tradition, spreading holiday cheer to millions of disadvantaged children every year! 🎄✨

Want to join in on the Christmas tradition that the Hendricks Family started? There’s still time!🎅✨❤️ Click here: https://secure.toysfortots.org/a/socialmedia

The true spirit of the holidays is about sharing hope, love, and joy — the kind of magic that lights up a child’s face on Christmas morning. 🎄🎁

This December 2nd , on Giving Tuesday — or as we like to call it, Giving TOYSday — let’s come together as a community to ensure every child experiences that special holiday magic, no matter their circumstances.

When you donate to Toys for Tots on Giving TOYSday, you’re not just giving a toy to a disadvantaged child — you’re giving hope, happiness, and a reminder that they are cared for and cherished.

Your generosity ensures that no child wakes up empty-handed, and that the joy of the season reaches every home in need.

Thank you for being a vital part of this mission and for embracing the true meaning of the holidays. Together, we can make this season unforgettable for millions of children across the Nation.

This October, while the skeletons are dancing, witches are cackling, and pumpkins are plotting their takeover, something truly spookier than a haunted house lurks in the shadows…🧙👻💀🎃

Childhood poverty.

That’s right—Child Poverty Day is coming up on October 17th, and while fake cobwebs and plastic spiders might give us goosebumps, millions of children are facing a much scarier reality—one without comfort, play, or even the simple magic of a new toy. It’s a heartbreaking reality.

But don’t fear! –– You have the power to cast a spell of kindness by supporting Toys for Tots!❤️

This October 17th, for Child Poverty Day, let’s turn the spooky season into a season of spirit. Not the ghostly kind—but the giving kind.🎁

With just one month to go, we’re proud to celebrate a truly historic milestone—the 250th anniversary of our Nation’s greatest fighting force: the United States Marine Corps.

This moment is more than a celebration—it's a tribute to the legacy, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of the Marines who have served and continue to serve our country with honor.

For 250 years, Marines have answered the call—on the battlefield and in our communities. Their legacy lives on in every act of service, and here at Toys for Tots, in every smile that we help bring to children in need.

Semper Fidelis—and Happy 250th Birthday, Marines!
