It is irrelevant as to why people can't buy their children presents. The shame is on Toys for Tots for not living up to their charter and poorly managing this charity and that is so unfortunate.

The individuals who operate this charity are making such bad decisions I have to wonder why? They had problems a few years ago and non of the donated money actually went to the kids. Seems the man at the tops embezzled all of the donations. SHAME ON THEM.

I gave them money this year and i'll never do it again. Now this may not seem so bad on behalf of the charity but it is yet another example of poor decision making with the money. I went to my local Walmart and saw Toys for Tots giving pens and key chains, etc to people who donated. What a WASTE of money.

These items cost money, I don't care how little or how much. People who donate don't need pens and key chains and I doubt that a pen or key chain would inspire people to donate if they didn't want to in the first place. This gave me pause to think that- whoever made this decision obviously didn't think it through, unless they have a buddy who is making money from the purchase of these useless items. It's not about people being "entitled", they only expect what they are told they will be given, that they will receive certain benefits from this charity.

Then they are understandably disappointed when they get half hearted results. They are looking forward to getting something nice for their child and then get *** This charity promises to provide toys to kids who would not otherwise get them This is the PURPOSE of Toys for Tots. Where is this charity's conscience? I so do appreciate our men and women who selflessly serve our country.

But giving them toys from Toys for Tots is not right! Shame on them! Serving the country should not be a free for all to take from this charity. If you want to give our service families free toys, then have a charity that specifically gives toys to our service family's and many people will give and be happy with it.

Again, with all due respect to our brave Marines, they should not be taking toys from Toys for Tots unless that is a part of the charities stated purpose- and I don't think it is. What is the CHARTER for Toys for Tots?

I want to see it! And what is with this "Pissed Consumer" *** Just another example of an attitude which believes that, because they are operating a charity, they get to do whatever they want and anyone who complains is just a "consumer" We are not CONSUMERS you idiots, we are DONORS!

Reason of review: Charity Mis-management.

Toys For Tots Cons: Toys for tots is a disingenuous charity.

Well the needy and jobless children should not get better gifts than the ones who work.

Hey OP PISSEDCONSUMER.com is a third party non affiliated website for people to whine online. It has absolutely nothing to do with toys for tots.

It amazes me that you can supposedly spell out this grand scheme of embezzlement and incompetence and kickbacks yet you canโ€™t figure out that YOU are posting on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WEBSITE!! Toys for tots does a excellent job handling out gifts to the less fortunate. Giving away โ€œswagโ€ is just a way to remind people NEXT YEAR to potentially donate. Look at the โ€œswagโ€ being given away.

Pens and keychains. Items people use everyday. So if they gave you a keychain and next December you pick up your keys and see that keychain you may be reminded to donate. That is a sound a well tested marketing strategy.

Who are YOU to tell them they canโ€™t do something to help them pass out more presents next year? Are you so bitter of a person that you have to put your ignorance out on the web for everyone to see because YOU donโ€™t understand? Who are YOU to say that a military family canโ€™t use toys for tots? They get paid garbage!!

Who are YOU to demand ANYTHING?!? Thatโ€™s right you are a nobody and a nothing. You have no right to bash them because some mouthbreather trash didnโ€™t get a super expensive present. They allow you to give SOMETHING instead of the NOTHING you have.

How is that a bad thing?? People are getting FREE TOYS and then whining and crying it wasnโ€™t a bike or iPad. They get very few โ€œniceโ€ gifts and itโ€™s a system designed to give to the worst of the poor a better gift then they could have received otherwise. Exactly how ungrateful are you?

You give to GIVE! Itโ€™s not your choice as to who gets what and you should be happy to have helped a family or two. What YOU are doing is spreading your particular brand of ignorant and intolerance thought. Do you need a cookie for donating?

Oh thatโ€™s right, you donโ€™t think they should spend money on anything but what YOU deem appropriate. Iโ€™m guessing itโ€™s people like YOU who think they shouldnโ€™t be paid for the work they do as well.

Do the whole world a favor and just stay off the internet until you are better educated as to what you want to cry about. Your sheer ignorance about something you know NOTHING about is astounding in its depth and really you should go punch your parents in the head for raising such a ignorant fool.
