Toys for Tots

[Jamisjockey]

Just wanted to stump for my favorite charity.

Donate directly, or go pick some toys out and drop 'em off!  That's a direct order!

We do "Santa's in Blue".   Air Force members get a list of children and what they wish for and we buy them the gifts.  We usually pick 4 kids each year.

My favorite charity, too!

I ran T4T programs in E NC for several yrs, then several yrs in Yuma, AZ.

Most direct form of charity there is, among the organized types.  You donate a toy, kid gets a toy.   No overhead or organizational fees deducted,

All of the Marines who work on the T4T program are doing this in addition to their regular duties...it's a lot of extra work and these folks sacrifice a lot of their off-duty time during evenings/weekends.  All for a good cause!

BTW, contrary to what SOME folks think, T4T is NOT a program to benefit the kids of military families.

We give to the T4T program as well.

Have a box in the office every year.  With all the flyers I put out this year, this year we may fill two boxes!

I use it as an opportunity to spread eeevil--I buy cap guns.

Plenty of ammo is always made available.

Someone think about the children!:D
