Orlando Area Toys for Tots

By Theresa Johnston, About.com

Providing a Holiday Gift for Needy Children:

Toys for Tots has been collecting and delivering toys for children since 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. Since that time the Marine Corps Reserve units across the nation have been collecting toys for needy children in local communities.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES :

Individuals are encouraged to drop off a new toy at one of the collection points around the Central Florida area. Cash donations are accepted by individuals and businesses.
