Welcome to the 2025 Toys For Tots Campaign for the City of Roanoke, and surrounding southwest Virginia counties. The 2025 Toys for Tots campaign will offcially begin on October 1.  We will support to  the following counties: Alleghany, Bath,  Botetourt, Craig, Salem, Roanoke and Roanoke City.
 

The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children within the community in which the campaign is conducted.  We will be doing so with the assistance of local community support organizations, local donor organizations, local volunteers, and good old-fashioned Marine Corps ingenuity.  Most of all, we will be looking forward to the kind spirit of the people in our local communities. 

 
Toys For Tots is a program designed to bring people together, provide for someone in need, and to allow those less fortunate than ourselves to celebrate equally. It has been rumored there may not be a "real" Santa Claus, but the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation is doing its part to ensure the spirit of Santa Claus lives on.  We are his relief, and we look a bit sharper in our dress blue uniforms.  Truly, we believe Santa would be thoroughly impressed with our efforts.  
 
Currently, we are conducting coordination to support special events, providing boxes for toy drop-sites, working with our local sponsors and charities for the distribution of toys.

We will continue to be aggressive in our efforts to affect the overall success of this year's Toys For Tots Campaign and our local communities. We will be committed to our residents and their needs.  We will remain focused on sustainable results.  


If you have any questions about the local Toys for Tots Campaign, you may contact us via email at roanoke.va@toysfortots.org
 as this is our preferred method of communication. However, please do not take offense if we are unable to respond quickly. Our full time Toys for Tots staff consists of only two Marines and we are very busy managing the Toys for Tots campaign this time of year. We do our best to reply as fast as possible.
