Gunny Bear is hoping Punxsutawney Phil’s shadow is nowhere to be found—because he’s officially ready for spring! 🌸🐻

No matter what our favorite groundhog predicts, Gunny Bear knows one thing for sure: whether it’s six more weeks of winter or an early spring, Toys for Tots is always in season when it comes to spreading hope and joy!

Thank you for standing with us through every forecast and helping bring sunshine to children in need all year long. ☀️💝

Now that Christmas is over, what does Toys for Tots do?

We’re so glad you asked!

The truth is — nothing changes. Since 2020, Toys for Tots has evolved into being a year-round force for good, committed to bringing hope, joy, and optimism to children in need, all year long.

Because needs aren’t seasonal, and neither is Toys for Tots.

But we can’t do it alone.

We need your help—not just with donations and support year-round, but also with spreading the word. By sharing our story and mission, you help raise awareness about our ongoing programs and the children we serve all year long.

Together, we can bring hope to children in need, 365 days a year.

Thank you for being a vital part of our mission.

Today is Wreaths Across America Day — a moment to pause, reflect, and unite in purpose.

Today, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the true cost and value of freedom.

Laying a wreath is more than a gesture. It’s a promise to never forget.

Today we pause to remember the 2,403 lives lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

We honor the courage of all who served, the sacrifices they made, and the enduring spirit of duty that continues in our Marines today.

Today we honor a visionary, a dreamer, and a cherished friend of Toys for Tots.

On what would have been his 124th birthday, we celebrate the incredible legacy of Walt Disney — the man behind the magic and one of the earliest champions of our mission.

Walt Disney wasn’t just a creative genius; he was also a dedicated supporter of the Toys for Tots Program. As a close friend of our founder, Maj Bill Hendricks, USMCR, Walt played a pivotal role in shaping our identity — even designing our beloved three-car train logo, which still represents hope and joy to this day.🚂❤️🎄🎁

Join us in honoring Walt’s memory and generous spirit by making a gift through the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive. Your support will help us deliver holiday magic to millions of children in need — just as Walt envisioned.

While millions rush to fill their carts today, YOU have the chance to fill a child’s world with joy — because this is where hearts meet hope!

Through Marine Toys for Tots, you transform empty Christmas mornings into pure holiday magic — where a child who expected nothing wakes to squeals of joy, wonder, and the life-changing feeling of being remembered.

When doing your Black Friday shopping, please consider picking up an extra toy or book to donate to Toys for Tots so a child in need can experience the magic of Christmas.

Because for children facing hardship, one small present means far more than what’s inside the wrapping paper. It’s a message of hope — a reminder that someone, somewhere, cares.

Your kindness today helps bring joy, hope, and comfort to children who might otherwise go without. Together, we can make this Christmas one they’ll never forget. –– Click here: [email protected]" rel="ugc" target="_blank">https://[email protected]

Thank you for choosing to give joy this holiday season, and investing in a disadvantaged child’s smiles!
