The mission of the NORTHSHORE U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Campaign is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to children in need within the community. These toys make a tremendous difference in the lives of the children and families that receive them gratefully.
The toys distributed during yearly campaigns, are not viewed only as simple gifts, these bring joy and hope to all children in need. Hope is key, and hope is what the Marine Corps can give through the Toys for Tots program. We are delivering a message of hope to less fortunate children in hope that this will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
