Description:

The United States Marine Corps annual Toys for Tots collection is underway. Along with our partners Amtrak and Bombardier Transportation Services, MARC Train has traditionally conducted a two-day Toys for Tots collection at Washington Union Station, which was not held this year due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, as Christmas nears, the need is greater than ever given the economic hardship that many are facing.

MARC Train passengers can still participate in Toys for Tots virtually -- the deadline is this Thursday! Visit www.toysfortots.org/donate to find ways you can donate. Those options include: credit card donations, drop-off locations in your area, and a new “virtual toybox”, which allows you to browse, pick and pay for a specific toy (or toys!). You can even donate an unused vehicle and the cash proceeds from the sale will be used to buy toys.

MARC Train is grateful for the generosity of our passengers over the last 25 years and we hope you consider donating this year to make a child’s Christmas a little brighter. Again, visit www.toysfortots.org/donate to make a contribution. We thank you for your support and wish all of our passengers a safe and happy Holiday season.
