Grass Valley, CA

Christmas is a time of joy, happiness and goodwill. It is a time of giving and helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves, especially impoverished children. For over half a century, one organization - The U.S. Marine Corps, is the unchallenged leader in helping America’s deserving children in need.

Our Mission:
The mission of 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 the children in need in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

In Nevada County and Auburn, Ca. the Marine Corps League (a Marine Veteran’s Organization) operates the Toys for Tots program and has for many years. Starting from just a few hundred children to helping over 2,000 children experience the joy of a new toy at Christmas. When you donate to the Toys for Tots program, it directly helps many others as we give toys every year to other organizations within the community. We work directly many partner organizations to serve the outlying communities of Western Nevada County, North Placer County, and also portions of Yuba County.

How you can help:
Please donate a new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 dollars or more. The best donations are sporting goods, toy cars/planes/boats, board games, books, bicycles, scooters, puzzles, models, and small electronics. You can also donate money at this website to help us purchase toys in the areas where we are short.

As Sir Francis Bacon once wrote, "In charity there is no excess."

Thank you for your generous financial and moral support.
