Mission Statement
Helping other nonprofits continue to support kids and families in need.
About Us
Many people suffer everyday from homelessness and we want to help. Other families also suffer from poverty. We help at least 0.1% of the homeless population to find housing by helping other nonprofits raise more money and awareness.
This fictional non-profit would love to be a real 501c3 one day.

This website is a fictional non-profit, but here are some things we support below to help kids and families in need!
- The Operation ✨ Even Santa has his helpers.
- Operation Santa’s Child is a grassroots community event that started in 1993 by a small group of teachers, students, and friends on a mission to bring the magic of Christmas to Albuquerque families experiencing hardship.
- More than 29 years later, our mission to give the gift of holiday cheer to a handful of children has scaled into an all-hands-on-deck community effort that delivers a warm and cheerful Christmas to dozens of Albuquerque children and their families each year. With the help of a dedicated group of volunteers, donors, and sponsors, we provide coats, clothing, toys, school supplies, and holiday meals to make sure no child misses out on the magic of Christmas. Head over to our about page for more on the history of Operation Santa’s Child and its impact on the people of Albuquerque.
- MISSION: The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
- GOAL: The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
- OBJECTIVES: The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.
- ACTIVITIES: The principal Toys for Tots activity which takes place each year is the collection and distribution of toys in the communities in which a Marine Corps Reserve Unit is located. In communities without a Reserve Unit, the campaign can be conducted by a Marine Corps League Detachment or group of men and women, generally veteran Marines, authorized by Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to conduct a local Toys for Tots campaign. Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators conduct an array of activities throughout the year, which include golf tournaments, foot races, bicycle races and other voluntary events designed to increase interest in Toys for Tots, and concurrently generate toys and monetary donations.
