This year we are hosting our fourth annual Christmas Toy Drive benefiting Toys for Tots. This amazing organization's goal is to collect  new, unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children at Christmas.

Toys for Tots was started in 1947 by Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks and his wife, Diane. Major Hendricks civilian job was Director of Public Relations at Warner Brothers Studios. He was friends with many celebrities who he asked to help support the newly created Marine Toys for Tots Program. As a personal friend and as a favor to Bill, Walt Disney designed the first Toys for Tots poster which included a miniature three-car train that was subsequently adopted as the Toys for Tots logo.

Presently, the Marine Toys for Tots Program distributes an average of 18 million toys to 7 million less fortunate children annually.

Please join us Sunday, December 10th from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. for refreshments and a visit from at Toys for Tots Marine. Bring a new, unwrapped toy and help us spread cheer to those who need it.
