Jill Biden tells military children at Marine Corps Reserve toy drive to remember that they are loved
Jill Biden has told children from military families who helped the White House donate toys for the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign to remember that they are loved
WASHINGTON (AP) — Less than 10 minutes was all it took for a large pile of toys donated by the White House staff to disappear as Jill Biden and children from military families sorted them into boxes as part of the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign for the less fortunate.
The White House is a longtime supporter of the program, which has been helping families for 77 years, said Lt. Gen. Leonard Anderson IV, commander of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
“We're making a significant impact right here in the nation's capital, where these toys will go to kids in need,” he said at a White House event hosted by the first lady.
Last year, the program delivered over 25 million toys to more than 10 million children nationwide, he said. “This year we think we're going to set another record, so we're really excited,” he said.
