History
Christmas is a time of joy, happiness and goodwill.
It is a time of giving and helping those who are less fortunate than
ourselves, especially impoverished children. For the past 60 years,
one organization - the United States Marine Corps - is the
unchallenged leader in looking after America's needy children at
Christmas.
In 1947, Major Bill Hendricks with the support of
members of his Los Angeles Marine Corps Reserve unit - collected and
distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. Bill's program was so
successful that in 1948, the Marine Corps adopted it and expanded it
nationwide as the United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
Program.
Walt Disney designed the train logo. Dr. Phil is the
honorary nation chairperson in 2007.
Today, Toys for Tots is the Marine Corps' premier
community relations program. To many Americans, Christmas isn't
complete without the image of uniformed Marines collecting and
distributing toys to needy children in their communities. Marines
bring the joy of Christmas to nearly 3.5 million needy children each
year.
