Why Host a Toys for Tots Event?

Every child deserves to experience the magic of the holidays. By hosting an event, you're helping to deliver hope — and toys — to children who need it most. Plus, it’s a great way to bring your community together and make a lasting impact.

 

We are asking for anyone interested in hosting a Toys for Tots event to please request a 2-3 hours block for Marines to be there.
With the high volume off events it is difficult for our personal to stay at events lasting 5-7 hours and we would like to be at all of them!
Events taking longer than 2-3 hours will taken on a case by case basis. Please provide us with as much detail as possible. Thank you all for your support!!
