The 2022 Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots National Campaign, the Program’s 75th Anniversary, has concluded and we are happy to report it was another outstanding year assisting families during the Christmas holiday season!
Across our great Nation last year, tens of thousands of Marines, Sailors, Volunteers, and our Youth Ambassadors, worked tirelessly assisting less fortunate families in 833 local communities within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Their efforts were extraordinary during a year that saw a significant increase in inflation resulting in higher prices on almost everything from eggs to fuel and everything in between. The decrease in purchasing power for Americans caused more families requesting support from Marine Toys for Tots. Marines and our Local Civilian Organization (LCO) Volunteer Coordinators, as always, were ready!
During the 2022 Campaign, Marine Toys for Tots distributed over 24.3 million toys, books, and games to over 9.9 million children in need.
Marines, Sailors, Volunteers, and our Youth Ambassadors, distributed more toys to more less fortunate children than in 2021 and reached a record number of children in our 75th year!
Please check back with your local campaign’s website periodically for updates as we prepare for the 2023 Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Campaign!
Semper Fidelis!
