TRIANGLE, Va., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Long recognized as America's
premier children's Christmastime charity, the Marine Toys for Tots
Program's mission of spreading hope and joy to children in need
continues throughout the year. Toys for Tots' initiatives
that extend beyond the holiday season have been more valuable than
ever as families struggle with inflation and continue to experience
challenging financial circumstances.
Working with local nonprofits across the country, Toys for
Tots is conducting its fourth annual Christmas in July
initiative to bring the same Christmastime magic and hope to
underprivileged children this summer.
As underprivileged families continue to struggle with the rising
costs of groceries, gas, and everyday necessities, Toys for
Tots' year-round programs strive to provide a sense of normalcy
and comfort to their children – providing hope for brighter days
ahead.
"Needs aren't seasonal, and neither is Toys for Tots,"
said LtGen Jim Laster, USMC
(Retired), President and CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots
Foundation. "With the rising cost of living and other economic
challenges, parents are finding it increasingly difficult to pay
bills and put food on their family's table. Buying toys,
books, or games for their children seems completely out of reach.
With the support from our generous donors, we can make sure every
child's future is as bright as possible – and deliver the magic of
the holiday season in July," he continued.
With every gift that is given, our generous supporters show how
much they care about children who face poverty every day of the
year. Santa's boots are big ones to fill, but if anyone's up to the
task, it's our faithful supporters. Celebrate Christmas in July and
help Toys for Tots continue to be a year-round force for good and
deliver hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Celebrate Christmas in July with Toys for Tots and give
the gift of hope to economically disadvantaged children across the
