Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators Attend Conference
The annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign is the hallmark community outreach program of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The mission of the Toys for Tots (TFT) Program is to collect new unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children at Christmas in order to help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children. Local Campaign Coordinators, either Marine Forces Reserve Marines / Sailors, or a Local Community Organization (LCO) volunteer, lead and supervise over 860 local campaigns across our great Nation. The Foundation hosts an annual training conference to prepare both new and veteran Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators for the upcoming campaign. This annual training conference began in 1999 and grew to a level of approximately 500 Coordinators. The training that the Coordinators receive is through active participation in classes provided in all-hands sessions, panel discussions, and Regional group breakout sessions. The training is also provided virtually via WebEx to allow campaign staff and volunteers to participate. The speakers include members of the MTFTF staff, USMC and Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES or MFR) leadership, and current TFT Campaign Coordinators.
