This is the first year the Dewitt Stern Group hosted a toys drive in support of Marine Forces Reserve Toys for Tots program. The mission of the program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during Oct., Nov. and Dec. each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less-fortunate children. This is the 70th anniversary season of Toys for Tots. Since its inception in 1947, the nationwide Marine Corps Reserve sponsored program has collected and distributed more than 570 million toys.
