The Marine Corps in Quantico will distribute toys to underprivileged children in Northern Virginia.
According to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation website, www.toysfortots.org, the primary goal of the program “is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.”
NOVEC HELPS Executive Director Donna Snellings says, “NOVEC HELPS and the Toys for Tots program both want to make our communities better. Providing toys is one way we can make the holidays a little brighter for less-fortunate children in our area.”
