How to Apply for Toys for Tots
In 1947, a group of Marines in Los Angeles organized a toy drive for needy children, distributing 5,000 toys for the holiday season, and Toys for Tots was born. Millions of toys later, Toys for Tots has grown into a nationwide program run by the Marine Corps that still has the same purpose of providing new toys for kids for during the Christmas season.
