Marine Toys for Tots – Donate or Request a Toy

Every year, the Marine Albuquerque Toys for Tots Foundation collects and donates thousands of new toys and distributes them to local children who otherwise might not have gotten any presents. If you find yourself in a rough spot this year, but still want your kids to have a nice Christmas, you can request toys for your family by following the instructions below. If you’re having a good year, please consider donating a toy so that other families can enjoy the holiday season too!
