2024 Toy Drop Site or Events:
Our sponsors are very important to the success of the annual Brevard campaigns.
  We must have sponsors to support our toy drives, our fund raisers and events.
Please consider supporting a fund raiser for our campaign this year. 
All local coordinators must raise their own funds to operate a campaign.
We need the community business owners & organizations to sponsor events,
so we can continue our mission for Brevard County



.
To contact us, call 321-200-6173
If you are planning an Event (Fund Raiser or Toy Drive), please tell us about it
so we can work together and get it on the schedule.
 Early Event registration will make it easier for us to get a marine to your event . I ONLY HAVE 1 MARINES TO HELP 
Marine support is very hard to get as our Marines are always serving their country so please register early

 
 
Donations:


Why we need Donations:
It is required, by the Marine Corps and the Toys for Toys Foundation, that all local Coordinators support their own campaigns by financing it through local donations. We DO NOT receive any monetary support from any other sources outside the community.  Our National Headquarters,Toys for Tots Foundation, only provides us with promotional materials and overhead support. 

Note: The Toys for Tots Foundation is the only Non-Profit Organization, nationally, that has a 3% overhead, versus the normal 10% -15% for non-profit organizations.
Locally, we are less then that; we're able to take a simple $10 donation and
turn it into a smile on a child's face on Christmas Morning!!


**Think what we can do with Thousands of Dollars for Brevard County children.
We encourage Fundraisers to keep us operating a campaign for years to come!! 

 Cash/ Credit Card Donations

  Credit cards can be processed on a secure website: click on the 
"Donate" Tab at the top of this page. Under "Give & Receive" select "Make a Donation". Completely fill out the form and click on "Donate" at the bottom of the page. This will guarantee the donation comes to our local North Brevard account. 
If you would like to pay by check or cash, please call the Coordinator Denise Farias 321-200-6173  for a donation pickup to be scheduled. 
Our Donation focus is to Purchase Toys.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE VOLUNTEERS THAT MADE 2023 A HUGE SUCCESS!!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY ASHLEY, KEITH, KAILEE AND THE BOSS BABY HARMONY FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND HELP


Every Campaign Nationwide relies on Volunteers to get the work done. Each Year, we increase our volunteer pool and last year we had over 100 volunteers to work with our Marine Corps League Members to distribute toys to over 11,000 children in Brevard County.  This year, we need more volunteers to spread the workload and make this year the best ever. 
We still have our goal to have more corporations, churches and club organizations form volunteer groups that will work with us in the warehouse: sorting, counting and bagging toys.  Every toy is counted and sorted in gender and age categories, so we can fill the orders based on our family registration cards. 
This requires hundreds of hours of warehouse time.
However, the load is lighter when there are many hands involved.
If you have questions
 Call our Toy Line 321-200-6173

Non-Profit Organizations


If you would like to request toys please fill out information and provide us the paperwork requested. If any toys left we will gladly share! If able to help the ages of the children will be from 0-10. 

History
Last year, we supported 65 different non-profit organizations, including Grandparents Raising Grandchildren of Brevard County,  Sharing Centers of North and South Brevard County, Coalition of Early Learning of Brevard and numerous churches. These organizations not only supported their members' requirements, but reached far into the community to help those families that don't have the means get to  registration locations or distribution centers.  We appreciate partnering with all these organizations and, through their effort, we know Brevard County is being covered better. 
We hope we can continue working with these organizations this year.  If you are interested in signing up your non-profit organization, you must fill out a form

Your organization MUST have a non-profit tax ID number to complete the form.
  If one is not provided, the form will be rejected.





MISSION 

The important thing is that we are local people helping local families. This is the Christmas mission of your local campaign helping the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program for Brevard County, Florida.
