Since 1947, Disney has supported Toys for Tots, collecting toys worldwide for children in need. Did you know that Walt Disney and his team of animators designed the Toys for Tots logo all those years ago and it is still used today? Since the beginning, Toys for Tots Marines and volunteers have distributed 652 million toys to over 291 million children, and this year, they’ve beat their own record with more than 270,000 toys and counting for children in need!
On Giving Tuesday (November 28, 2023), Disney announced that they were giving grants to Toys for Tots that would provide an additional 75,000 toys to kids in need. If you would like to be a part of toy drive this year, there is still time to join in by donating a toy online at shopDisney.com/ToyDrive through Christmas Eve – Sunday, December 24, 2023.
Walt Disney World cast member, Jen McKechnie, decided to celebrate Disney’s centennial by volunteering with 100 different nonprofit organizations this year. For her 100th organization, she chose to support Toys for Tots and help distribute toys donated by her fellow cast members to children and families in Florida! She’s supported organizations across Florida and beyond, creating positive change for families, future storytellers, teachers, wish families and more.
