Operation Toy Train
2 Nov – 15 Dec 2024
During December, Operation Toy Train trains travel the east and west coasts of the USA. Over 35,000 donated toys for children in need are collected by volunteers along the Toy Train routes. On behalf of the Toys for Tots Foundation, the Navy distributes these donations to children in need. Local organisations partner with the initiative to support the cause. The fundraising campaign fosters a sense of community and encourages a willingness to help disadvantaged areas, ensuring that these children can experience the joy of receiving gifts at Christmas.
