Many families ask about how to
obtain toys for their children. The thing to remember about obtaining
toys is that the Marines do not give toys directly to children or
families. They are not equipped to do that. The Marines and
The Chicago TFT Parade Organization give the toys to neighborhood groups
such as local churches, schools, hospitals, the DCFS, Catholic Charities,
The Community Chest and other similar organizations. Those looking for
toys must contact one of these groups to obtain toys.
