As the festive season draws near, the United States Marine Corps' (USMC) annual charity initiative, "Toys for Tots," has brought joy to millions of underprivileged children nationwide.

This year, the drive has distributed nearly 25 million gifts to more than 10 million children in need.

According to Breitbart, the remarkable achievement was announced by retired USMC Lt. Gen. James B. Laster, the CEO of the Toys for Tots foundation. The announcement came on the heels of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings' declaration that it had raised over $1.1 million for the gift-giving program.

Our mission is to ensure that every child feels a sense of hope for a brighter future, and we are deeply grateful for the unwavering support from Ollie’s," Laster stated.

The Toys for Tots drive has had a significant impact on communities across the country. In North Carolina, the program came to the aid of children affected by Hurricane Helene. A representative from the Cumberland County Salvation Army reported that Toys for Tots had fulfilled 800 requests. "They came in, they helped us with filling those 800 that hasn’t been turned in by last Tuesday or Wednesday," said Capt. Jamie Goldfarb of the Salvation Army of the Sandhills.
