Toys For Tots 2022: How To Donate In Petaluma

PETALUMA, CA — The holiday season is here and now is the time to consider donating to a Toys for Tots campaign in Petaluma.

The mission of Toys for Tots is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute them to less fortunate children at Christmas. The original Toys for Tots project was founded in 1947 by Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks, and it became a nonprofit public charity at the behest of the Marine Corps in 1991. The organization is still run exclusively by veteran Marines.

The 2022 holiday season marks the 75th anniversary of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, and there are hundreds of local campaigns either planned or ongoing across the United States.

In 2021 in Sonoma County, 39,398 toys were distributed and 13,790 local children were supported through the Toys for Tots program.
