How does Toys for Tots distribute the toys at Christmas?
The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is directed by the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve, with the assistance of his staff, from the Marine Forces Reserve Headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 501(c) (3) not-for-profit public charity, is the authorized fund raising and support organization for the Toys for Tots Program. The Foundation provides the funding and support needed for successful annual toy collection and distribution campaigns. The foundation staff is located in an office suite aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia, about 35 miles south of Washington, DC. Local campaigns are conducted annually in over 500 communities covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Commander, Marine Forces Reserve has under his command 280 Marine Reserve Units located at 184 Marine Reserve Centers and seven Marine Corps Bases/Air Stations covering 46 states. To cover all 50 states and more communities in each state, the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve authorizes the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to permit selected Marine Corps League Detachments and Local Community Organizations (generally veteran Marines) located in communities without a Marine Reserve Center, to conduct Toys for Tots campaigns as part of the overall U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. One individual, either a Marine, member of a Marine Corps League Detachment, or member of a local community organization, is designated the Toys for Tots coordinator for that community. The coordinator is responsible for planning, organizing and conducting the campaign in his/her community. Local toy collection campaigns begin in October and last until December 22. Toy distribution normally takes place on December 23 and 24. Members of the community drop new, unwrapped toys in collection boxes positioned in local businesses. Coordinators pick up these toys and store them in central warehouses where the toys are sorted by age and gender. At Christmas, coordinators, with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies, distribute the toys to the needy children of the community. Over the years, Marines have established close working relationships with social welfare agencies, churches and other local community agencies which are well qualified to identify the needy children in the community and play important roles in the distribution of the toys. While Toys for Tots coordinators organize, coordinate and manage the campaign, the ultimate success depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of the people who donate toys. Local business leaders play key roles. They allow coordinators to locate drop-off/collection boxes in their stores; provide free warehouse space for storing and sorting toys during October, November and December; provide vehicles to collect toys from drop off sites; sponsor toy raising events; and help coordinators arrange media exposure for Toys for Tots in the local community. National corporations support Toys for Tots by establishing affiliations with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. These corporations make donations to the Foundation or conduct cause marketing initiatives from which they share royalties with the Foundation. In almost every instance, the marketing initiatives of these corporations give significant added visibility and name recognition to Toys for Tots. Such visibility enhances the campaign at the national and local levels. The funds emanating from these affiliations enable the Foundation to purchase toys to supplement local collections; purchase promotion and support materials: and defray the costs of annual Toys for Tots campaigns. *** CLARIFICATION OF ABOVE - In essence, this means that the toys collected for Toys for Tots are NOT redistributed to neighboring communities or counties when one community or county collects an excess. For example, a "well to do" community that collects an average of 20 nice toys for each child will not be sharing with a neighboring community that is more economically challenged and only manages to collect 4 low price toys per child. Regardless of the donors intentions. This includes major donations from corporations. Their donations are kept in the county of origin. So, if a major toy company donates 300,000 toys to Toys for Tots, they will only be distributed within ONE county or community and will NOT be redistributed nationally. Please keep this in mind when donating to this organization. If you live in an economically stable community and have a city/county/community nearby that is struggling, make sure to donate within the limits of that community, in it's actual location. If you are a company making a large donation, make sure to split up your donation among many needy counties and DO NOT leave it up to Toys for Tots to distribute your toys for you. They will simply dump them on the community of origin, regardless of donor intention or community need.*** ELEMENTS OF TOYS FOR TOTS United States Marine Corps

How can you help people living with AIDS?
In general every day life, the best way to help them is to treat them as you would anyone else, not stigmatising them and not filtering everything about them through the knowledge that they have HIV / AIDS. Try to give them a sense of normailty and ensure that they do not become socially isolated / excluded. Also understand that you can only become infected through direct contact with their blood and semen, so give them the same emotional and physical contact that you would anyone else. In terms of helping specific individuals, the best thing you can do is ask them what you can do for them. If your aim is to provide wider support, that is best done through giving your support to one of the many local, national and international organistations that try to help people living with HIV and AIDS.

Fides spes caritas maior autem horum est caritas?
In the Latin Vulgate Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:13 reads "nunc autem manet fides spes caritas tria haec maior autem his est caritas"; a typical English translation is "And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity."
However, the Greek word "agape" (given as "caritas" in the Vulgate) is difficult to translate precisely. Many English translations opt for "love" in place of "charity".
