Alachua & Tri-County US Marine Corps Toys For Tots campaigns provided Christmas toys to over 4400 children in our local communities in 2024. We are very grateful for our partners, sponsors and everyone in the community who volunteered their time and services to make this possible! Our goal is for the 2025 Christmas season to be just as memorable for all of our friends and neighbors in the Alachua, Gilchrist, Dixie & Levy Counties. Since 1947, Marines have been making Christmas wishes come true for needy children. The gift of a shiny new toy means to a child that someone cares, that he/she hasn’t been forgotten, that Christmas hasn’t passed him/her by. Toys for Tots truly makes a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children of our community and we believe that "every child deserves a little Christmas"
The local Toys for Tots volunteer team works very hard to make the campaign a success, but we could never do it without help from the local community. This is a 100% volunteer based campaign which thrives solely on donations of toys, services and monetary gifts. Toys For Tots is a Top-Rated Charity with over 97% of your monetary donations going to our mission of providing toys, books, and other gifts to less fortunate children. Together, with our community's support, we will carry on this mission in 2024! Contact us today to find out how you can help!
Please contact us through this site or either campaign email address below if you are interested in becoming a partner or if your group/organization is interested in volunteering services to assist in our 2025 campaign which officially begins on October 1st 2025. The campaigns are ran independent of each other and we are in need of volunteers and sponsors for each!
