Only 3 Days Until Christmas! Did you know Toys for Tots has been delivering toys to kids since 1947? That’s right! There has always been a need for people to help and the Marines have been helping kids for a very long time. If you haven’t been to a Toys for Tots toy drive, both Marines and Jr. Marines help parents choose out of hundreds of toys for the perfect gifts for their kids.
