We are so excited to be partnering with The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital once again!

Thank you for your interest in participating. While shopping on our website, you'll see the option to donate items that have been requested by BBCH. You can also click here to browse all of those items at once. Simply click the radio button next to "donate this to Barbara Bush Children's Hospital!" and we'll put your toy in our BBCH donation box until they come pick it up. You can select toys for yourself AND toys to donate, and checkout for both at the same time, so it's super easy to give this holiday season!

See below for more information.

toys for tots HAS BEEN PICKED UP

toys for tots HAS BEEN PICKED UP

The Toys for Tots box has been picked up! Please consider donating to the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital instead.



Local toy collection campaigns begin in October and last until mid to late December.  Toy distribution also takes place mid to late December.  Members of the community drop new, unwrapped toys in collection boxes positioned in local businesses.  Coordinators pick up these toys and store them in central warehouses where the toys are sorted by age and gender.  At Christmas, Coordinators, with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies, distribute the toys to the less fortunate children of the community.  Over the years, Marines have established close working relationships with social welfare agencies, churches and other local community agencies which are well qualified to identify the needy children in the community and play important roles in the distribution of the toys.

While Toys for Tots Coordinators organize, coordinate and manage the campaign, the ultimate success depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of the people who donate toys.

Local business leaders play key roles.  They allow Coordinators to locate drop-off/collection boxes in their stores; provide free warehouse space for storing and sorting toys during October, November and December; provide vehicles to collect toys from drop-off sites; sponsor toy raising events; and help Coordinators arrange media exposure for Toys for Tots in the local community.
