BLESSINGS TO THE HOLIDAYS

WELCOME TO THE PEORIA/TAZEWELL COUNTY TOYS FOR TOTS OFFICIAL WEBSITE



Happy Holidays
  
Thank you for your interest in the 2024 Peoria, IL Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign and for considering us to be your charity to support this year! Please make time to navigate through the website for most frequently asked questions. Every minute spent on the phone or emails replying to FAQ is a minute taken away from serving the children.

The mission of the Peoria, IL U.S. Marine Corps Reserve 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 children in need within our community. 
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

ATTENTION ALL: This year The Marine Corps Toys For Tots Campaign will not be running a distribution. Instead we will be working with the Salvation Army in Peoria/Pekin and Threads Hope and Love (Washington/Mortion) to cover all areas in Peoria/Tazewell county.
