Marines with the Blue Angels and National Santa, Tim Connaghan, bring toys for Hurricane Sandy victims on December 3 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The Marines brought more than $700,000 in toy and book donations on their C-130 "Fat Albert" from donation points in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. The toys were put onto trucks for distribution to families and children in the affected New York/New Jersey area.

Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. It was founded in 1947 by reservist Major Bill Hendricks.[2]

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity located in Triangle, Virginia, funds, raise funds for, and supports the program.
