DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth and the U S Marine Corps Reserve have co-sponsored the Toys for Tots
Program for several years This program is designed to provide toys to needy families with
children twelve years of age and under who would otherwise not receive gifts during the winter
holiday season This year, numerous donors contributed 523,313 77 for the purchase of toys
and supplies for the "Toys for Tots/Cowboy Santa's" program
The program committee was able to identify vendors who offered the City discounts up to 50%
Toys Unlimited, a division of Toy Liquidators, is the nation's largest distributor and retailer of
close-out toys and has a long tradition of supplying more toys for less money to America's
children In keeping with that tradition, they offer a special toy sales program for corporations
and non-profit organizations designed to help more children
During the toy distribution process this year, more toys were needed to fill all of the applications
taken at the Community Centers, Housing Complexes and the Toy Warehouse Therefore,
additional toys were purchased from Toys Unlimited which made the total purchase more than
515,000
This program is in all COUNCIL DISTRICTS
