BARRIGADA, Guam, Dec. 19, 2014 – American Marines from Marine Corps Activity Guam delivered approximately 4,700 toys to the Salvation Army and Catholic Social Service here yesterday.

“The Toys for Tots campaign is more than just a regular community service event, it is an official activity of the United States Marine Corps and is incorporated in the actual mission,” said Marine Corps Capt. Rafiel Warfield, MCAG Toys for Tots coordinator.

“For us, it’s more than just collecting toys. It’s making a difference in a young child’s life -- having impact and positively affecting our communities.”

“We have more and more people that want to get involved, and it serves a more meaningful purpose in our community outreach program with the Marines,” said David Leddy, a member of the Guam Chamber of Commerce.

“We do our best to make sure Toys for Tots is successful every year,” Leddy said.
