What is "Toys for To" Program?

 Toys for Tots is a national charitable program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, dedicated to delivering hope and holiday cheer to children in need. For decades, Toys for Tots has collected new, unwrapped toys and distributed them to millions of families, ensuring every child experiences the magic of the season.

Through this partnership, It Takes A Village (ITAV) is proud to serve local families. With the generous support of Toys for Tots, we are able to provide high-quality toys to children across our ITAV community — including infants, toddlers, school-aged kids, and teens.

Each year, our team works closely with Toys for Tots coordinators to receive, organize, and distribute toys to families facing financial hardship. This collaboration allows us to:

• Support underserved and under-resourced families during the holiday season
• Ensure every child in our program receives a gift chosen with care
• Strengthen community connections through compassion and generosity
• Relieve financial strain for parents and caregivers
• Bring joy, dignity, and excitement to the children we serve
   

At ITAV, we believe every child deserves to feel celebrated — especially during the holidays. Thanks to Toys for Tots, we’re able to turn that belief into a joyful reality for our families each year.
