In the spirit of giving, the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program is looking for corporate locations in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parish to become official drop sites for their cause. With the holiday season approaching, the organization is on a mission to bring smiles to the faces of less fortunate children by distributing new, unwrapped toys at Christmas.
The core mission of the Marine Toys for Tots Program is simple yet powerful: to collect new, unwrapped toys and deliver them into the hands of underprivileged children during the Christmas season. By doing so, the program aims to spread the joy of Christmas and deliver a message of hope to America’s less fortunate youth.
The local impact of the 2022 program is as follows:
- Terrebonne Parish:
- Toys Distributed: 18,134
- Children Supported: 6,045
- Lafourche Parish:
- Toys Distributed: 1,550
- Children Supported: 506
Businesses in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parish can actively contribute to this heartwarming cause by becoming official Toys for Tots drop sites. By registering online by October 31, companies can serve as collection points, encouraging employees and customers to donate new, unwrapped toys.
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, established in 1991, operates as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity. It was created at the request of the U.S. Marine Corps, underscoring the significance and credibility of this initiative. The Foundation plays a vital role in coordinating the collection and distribution of toys nationwide, ensuring that the spirit of giving reaches every corner of the country.
