Toys for Tots is a national charity run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve to benefit economically disadvantaged children during each Christmas holiday season, the spokesperson said.

Toys for Tots prefers to not receive gifts with food or realistic looking weapons, the spokesperson said. If these items are donated, they will not be distributed.
