What is Toys for Tots?

Toys for Tots  is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charity created by the United States Marines Reserves to collect toys and then distribute them to less fortunate children. The program was started in Los Angeles in 1947 by a group of World War II veterans.  In 1995, the Secretary of Defense approved Toys for Tots as an official activity for the U.S. Marine Corps and an official mission of the Marine Corps Reserve.  Currently, there are toy collection campaigns in 759 communities in all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. Since its inception, the Toys for Tots toy collection program has distributed over 494 million toys to over 230 million less fortunate children.  The program partners with local social welfare agencies, church groups and other local community agencies to distribute the toys to children for Christmas. Local toy collections begin in October and last until mid-December, so the toys can be distributed to children by Christmas.

ezStorage thanks everyone who has donated to the Toys for Tots program in the past and who continue to support this great and worthwhile organization.
