As the holiday season approaches, we will be busy in Iowa working with local community leaders to make sure that the wishes of needy children throughout our local area come true.

The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program has traditionally been one of the most nationally recognized non- profit programs in the United States. From its inception in 1947, the program has continuously provided a means for needy children.

In the past eight years the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program donated nearly 30,000 toys to several thousands of children in our community. These children received toys as a result of the hardworking individuals who make this program a success and the generosity of our community.



We would like to extend a thank you to the many business leaders and concerned citizens whose assistance and goodwill have made our first year of the program very successful. With the help of your donations, we made sure that no child went without Christmas if we knew that a family was in need.

Our main goal and mission is to assure the less fortunate families throughout our community that their children will be taken care throughout the holiday season. Marines take pride in work ethic, results and serving our communities and country. There is no better satisfaction than seeing the smile of a child during the holiday season. After all, every child deserves a gift and our gift is giving. Our reward is their smiles and watching them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.
