海军陆战队Toys for Tots假日行动启动：近900个社区为困境儿童收集玩具与图书
美国海军陆战队的年度慈善招牌——「Toys for Tots」（玩具为孩童）2026假日行动已于10月1日正式启动。10月4日，项目把启动声势带到了拉斯维加斯：与NASCAR车队Richard Childress Racing合作，车手奥斯汀·迪伦（Austin Dillon）驾驶3号Toys for Tots雪佛兰赛车亮相，为全国行动揭幕。基金会10月7日在弗吉尼亚州三角市（Triangle）发布了启动消息。
Toys for Tots由美国海军陆战队预备役主办，始于1947年，是美国历史最悠久的全国性儿童慈善项目之一。海军陆战队Toys for Tots基金会经海军陆战队与战争部授权，为这一年度项目提供募资与运营支持。
按基金会公布的计划，今年10月至12月，海军陆战队员、平民协调员、社区伙伴与支持者将在近900个地方社区动员起来，收集并分发玩具、图书与礼物，让家境困难的孩子也能在圣诞节收到属于自己的礼物。各地社区设有玩具投放点，居民可捐赠全新、未拆封的玩具，企业与团体也可组织集体收集或直接捐款。
「我们每年的假日行动都始于一个简单而有力的承诺：不让任何孩子在圣诞节感到被遗忘，」基金会总裁兼首席执行官、退役海军陆战队中将吉姆·拉斯特（Jim Laster）说。他表示，与赛车队在拉斯维加斯共同启动今年的行动，让这份承诺被数百万美国人听见；而在赛道上掀起的热情，将转化为一场由慷慨与同情推动的全国行动。
居民可通过项目官网toysfortots.org查找所在社区的投放点、申请援助或在线捐款。基金会提醒，地方行动的收集截止日各不相同，有意捐赠者宜尽早查询本地安排。

Marine Toys for Tots Launches 2026 Holiday Campaign: Nearly 900 Communities Collecting Toys and Books for Children in Need
The U.S. Marine Corps' signature charity effort, Toys for Tots, officially launched its 2026 holiday campaign on October 1. The kickoff hit the fast lane on October 4 in Las Vegas, where Toys for Tots joined Richard Childress Racing and driver Austin Dillon, who races the No. 3 Toys for Tots Chevrolet. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation issued the launch announcement from Triangle, Virginia, on October 7.
Toys for Tots is a national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, dating to 1947, and is one of America's longest-running children's charities. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, authorized by the Marine Corps and the Department of War, provides fundraising and operational support for the annual program.
From October through December, Marines, civilian coordinators, community partners and supporters will mobilize in nearly 900 local communities to collect and distribute toys, books and gifts, with the goal of making sure children whose families are facing hardship experience the joy of Christmas. Communities host toy drop-off points where residents can donate new, unwrapped toys; businesses and groups can host collections or give directly.
'Every year, our Holiday Campaign begins with a simple but powerful promise: no child should ever feel forgotten at Christmas,' said retired Marine Lt. Gen. Jim Laster, president and CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Launching the 2026 campaign with Richard Childress Racing and Austin Dillon, he said, shared that promise with millions of Americans — and what began on the track in Las Vegas becomes a nationwide effort fueled by generosity and compassion.
Local campaign details, drop-off locations, assistance applications and online giving are available at toysfortots.org. The foundation notes that collection deadlines vary by community and encourages donors to check their local campaign's schedule early.
