Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity is the fund raising, funding and support organization for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.

The Foundation was created at the behest of the U. S. Marine Corps and provides support in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve, who directs the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.

The Foundation has supported Toys for Tots since 1991.

       The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys (Toys not allowed are realistic looking weapons and toys with food, toys like chemistry sets or perhaps bath sets will fall into the category of item with chemicals, BUT are acceptable and may be distributed) during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

       This year besides Lake County, Montana, we will be collecting and distributing toys in Sanders County, Montana, (more on Sanders County as we meet and set drop points and distributon center information).??      Members from the Marine Corps League Hellroaring Detachment 1041, Share the Spirit, the Flathead Indian Reservation, many local Businesses and citizens of both counties along with our National Corporate Partners work together to provide gifts and special needs for children right here at home.??      

Your donations both monetary and new toys are deeply appreciated.??      

So Please Help with your donations at one of our many Donation Centers throughout Lake and Sanders Counties. You may also contact Coordinator Mauri Morin at 406-249-2250.
