Welcome to Toys for Tots 2011 - Madera. We are proud to represent Madera County. Last year Madera Toys For Tots raised and distributed over 12,000 toys for children within our county. It is important to note-100% of Toys collected by Madera Toys for Tots stay here within Madera County.
As the holiday season begins to draw near, you can be sure that your local U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Coordinator is gearing up for this year’s Toys for Tots campaign. Since 1947, Marines have been making Christmas wishes come true for needy children.
Toys for Tots in Madera County makes a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children of our community. Last year approximately 12,000 children in Madera County received toys through Toys for Tots. This year we expect the need to be greater than last, and we are asking you to help.
The local Toys for Tots team works very hard to make Toys for Tots a success, but we could never do it without the help of concerned citizens and business leaders. We rely on local businesses for assistance in a number of areas, including:
-
Providing toy collection sites;
-
Assisting in the transportation and storage of toys;
-
Helping to promote Toys for Tots in the media;
-
Underwriting special events;
-
Proving a providing a product or service suitable for raffling (donate a toy to enter); and
-
Assisting with such critical service as printing.
For the many volunteers who make Toys for Tots possible year after year, Toys for Tots embodies the true spirit of Christmas. The gift of a shiny new toy – something that most children take for granted – means to a needy child that someone cares, that he/she hasn’t been forgotten that, Christmas hasn’t passed him/her by.
The Marine Corps Reserve believe that “Every Child deserves a Little Christmas,” and we are asking you to help us send the needy children of our community a massage of hope this Christmas through the gift of a new toy. We will be happy to meet with you to discuss the Toys for Tots Program in greater detail, and how YOU can help.
