Toys For Tots Santa Cruz County

The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, now in its 70th year, was developed for the simple purpose of spreading Christmas cheer to children in need. In communities where no Reserve unit exists, volunteers and business leaders continue the tradition of providing the gift of hope to area children. In Santa Cruz County, Watsonville and Aptos/LaSelva Fire Departments, Ben Lomond FD, with assitance from CAL Fire Corralitos & Pajaro Dunes and partners throughout the county, have continued the mission and invite the public in delivering a message of hope, building self-esteem and mentoring children at Christmas
