CELEBRATING THE 75 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF TOYS FOR TOTS

This week, President Biden and Jill Biden celebrated the 75 year anniversary of Toys for Tots at an event hosted by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.

Tweet from @POTUS: 'For 75 years, Toys for Tots has bought joy, laughter, and smiles to families and kids across the country. It's one of the best events of the years. And today, Jill and I were proud to get these toys ready for the journey to their new owners.'

This engagement is part of Jill Biden’s Joining Forces initiative to support those who also serve: families of service members and veterans, caregivers, and survivors.
