First lady Michelle Obama places a toy in a sorting bin alongside a volunteer at a Toys for Tots event at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. The Toys for Tots program was created in 1947 by the Marine Corps Reserve and provides new, unwrapped toys to millions of less fortunate children in communities across the country every year. The first lady is an avid supporter of the program and has been a spokesperson for its mission for the last seven years. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Ian Leones/Released)
