Toys for Tots
Marine Toys for Tots Program's mission is to collect new unwrapped toys and distribute these gifts to less fortunate children at Christmas. Help make a child's dream come true this holiday by donating here.
Or make your holiday donation go further! Disney will donate $1 to Marine Toys for Tots for every new, unwrapped toy donated at a Disney store or a World of Disney store in the U.S. or online through shopDisney.com from Nov. 1 - Dec. 13, 2020.
The Walt Disney Company has worked with U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots Foundation for over 70 years, dating back to 1947 when Walt Disney and his animators designed the original Toys for Tots train logo that is still used today.
One Simple Wish
One Simple Wish brings national attention to the foster care system, brightening the lives of thousands of children by making their voices heard and connecting them with people who care.
