NOTICE:

We DO NOT support toy "auctions" or bulk toy "giveaways." The Toys for Tots foundation is dedicated to ensuring that every single child receives a toy for Christmas. This means that our mission is to ensure that these toys are distributed evenly to all children whos familes have subbmited the proper application OR non-profit that has subbmited a request with a list of children they intend on assiting. 

Please place all event requests (minimum 2 weeks prior to event) in the "Tell Us About Your Event" link under News & Events above. We are unable to guarantee a Marine at each event however will do all we can to support you.  Last Event date will be December 17th.  November 24th is the last event sign up date.

Toys for Older Children
(New) Due to shortages for older children, we can support children up until 11 years of age. This is partially due to the availability of toys for older children, and what we are donated for redistribution. 
 
 


The Marines and volunteers of 3d Battalion, 14th Marines are looking forward to bringing another great holiday season to the children of Philadelphia!

Thank you for your ongoing support!
