gifts offer these children recognition, confidence and a positive memory they
will cherish for a lifetime. Many of the gifts we provide, such as books, games
and sports equipment, make a significant contribution to the educational, social
and recreational interests of these children. In 2007, Marines distributed gifts
to 7.5 million children in over 600 communities nationwide. The Marine Toys for
Tots Foundation relies on individual donations from the American public and is
supported by corporate sponsorships. For more information, visit
