Providence RI Toys For Tots

01/09/2026

THE FINAL NUMBERS ARE IN!

This Toys for Tots season was nothing short of incredible, made possible by the overwhelming support of our community across Rhode Island.

By the numbers:

• 57 Public Events
• 256 Drop Sites statewide
• $60,000 in Monetary Donations
• 105,719 Toys Distributed
• 38,275 Children Supported
• 640 Children within Foster Care Supported
• 388 Volunteers
• 2,328 Volunteer Hours

Through strong partnerships, we were also able to expand our impact beyond the State of Rhode Island, by participating in collaborative events with Windham County Toys for Tots, and providing 1,000 toys to support their local distribution.

Our mission of providing holiday joy to children would not be possible without our community partners, volunteers, donors, and the dedicated Marines and Sailors who worked tirelessly behind the scenes all season long.

From all of us, thank you, Rhode Island, for helping us deliver hope and joy to tens of thousands of children this holiday season.

From 12/16 to 12/19, we partnered with the The Salvation Army USA of Providence, RI to conduct our annual Toys for Tots distribution, serving nearly 800 families, impacting almost 2,500 children, and distributing over 7,000 toys.

This large-scale effort was made possible with the support of Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) in Warwick, who were outstanding hosts and provided an excellent space to support the operation.

We’re grateful to our partners, volunteers, and Marines who worked tirelessly to ensure families across the community experienced a joyful holiday season.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this mission a success.

On 12/15, we were proud to have Tolman High School MCJROTC assist our team in packing toy orders for 1,100 children this holiday season.

They brought 40 cadets who worked alongside our Marines, gaining hands-on experience while also getting a look at day-to-day military operations. Their professionalism, motivation, and willingness to serve made a real impact on the mission.

Thank you to the Tolman MCJROTC cadets and instructors for your hard work and dedication to service.

The snow and cold didn’t stop them from coming out. 💪

Huge thanks to Team Rubicon for stepping up and helping us stage our toys for our large-scale distribution efforts. Their team loaded our 4 U-Haul trucks with almost 7,000 toys, which will be delivered to the CCRI Knight Campus in Warwick, RI in support of the Salvation Army distribution this week, which will benefit nearly 2,500 children across the state of Rhode Island.

Their dedication and hard work ensured the mission stayed on track despite the weather. We’re grateful to partner with an organization that truly embodies service above self.

Take a look inside our warehouse operations. Have you ever wonder where your donated toys actually go?

Every toy that comes through our doors is sorted, counted, and prepared for distribution to children across Rhode Island. On 12/10, we were joined by Team Hasbro, who volunteered their time to help us process thousands of toys and keep the mission moving.

We’re grateful for their hard work and dedication. Partnerships like this make a real difference in ensuring every child gets a special Christmas.
