The backstory:

 

The start of Toys for Tots

According to the Toys for Tots website, the organization was started in 1947 when Marine reservist Maj. Bill Hendricks was inspired by his wife Diane, who wanted to donate a few dolls she had made to an agency that supports children in need.  Maj. Hendricks wasn’t able to find one, so Diane told him he should start one and that year he and the Marines in his Los Angeles reserve unit collected 5,000 toys and distributed them to children in need.

Since then, Toys for Tots has distributed 708 million toys to 314 million children.

Walt Disney and his studio designed the original Toys for Tots logo

In his civilian job, Bill Hendricks worked as the Director of Public Relations at Warner Brothers Studios, and he was friends with many celebrities who he turned to for support of the newly created Marine Toys for Tots Program. 

One of those friends was Walt Disney.  He and his studio designed the first Toys for Tots poster featuring a miniature three-car train that was subsequently adopted as the Toys for Tots logo.

Walt Disney designed the  original Toys for Tots poster in 1948. (Toys for Tots)

The Toys for Tots Foundation is headquartered in the Cooper Center, which is located just outside the Main Gate of Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia, around 35 miles south of Washington, DC.
