In accordance with the Toys For Tots press room, the charity hosts the following mission. The U. S. Marine Corps Reserve's goal, via The Toys For Tots, program is to collect new, unwrapped toys 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. Jim Woolsey has contacted the Toys For Tots local chapter coordinator. Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators conduct an array of activities throughout the year, which include voluntary events designed to increase interest in Toys for Tots, and concurrently generate toys and monetary donations.
