- As the holiday season approaches, people around the world unite in a Global Day of Giving—Giving Tuesday—on December 3rd to support the charitable causes they respect and admire. For the Marine Toys for Tots Program, this day is Giving TOYSday, and we want to ensure that every child across our Nation will have at least one gift to open on Christmas morning.
With the generosity of the American public, the Program has faithfully delivered 677 million toys, books, and other gifts to 301 million deserving children since its inception in 1947. We still need your help to deliver the same Christmas magic to even more disadvantaged families—who continue to face financial challenges due to inflation, joblessness, and other hardships. Sadly, the idea of providing their children with Christmas gifts is a distant hope rather than a reality.
“We are asking for support from the American public now more than ever,” said Lieutenant General Jim Laster, President & CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
“We encourage our dedicated supporters to make a donation to the Marine Toys for Tots Program in honor of Giving TOYSday,” LtGen Laster said. “When you give to Toys for Tots, you provide hope for a brighter future through the gift of a new toy, book, or game to children who might otherwise go without on Christmas morning. Together, we can restore optimism and deliver Christmas miracles to children whose families are struggling financially.”
Giving TOYSday also serves as a reminder that generosity is not limited to material possession alone. Your kindness helps instill empathy, compassion, and responsibility in children and future generations, shaping them into more caring and socially conscious individuals.
