How to Receive Toys for Tots in Pinellas County, Florida
Toys for Tots is a not-for-profit public charity of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. The mission of the organization is to collect new, unwrapped toys from October through December each year and distribute them to families in need. There are local chapters around the country, including one in Pinellas County, Florida. Parents who need help giving their children gifts at Christmas time can register to receive gifts. Only those families that receive state assistance qualify for the program. Organizations can help the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve collect toys by becoming a drop site.
