Toys for Tots, an annual program run by the United States Marine Corps that collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes them to less fortunate children during each Christmas holiday season is getting help from new avenues, including the crypto world.
<h2><strong>Over $40,000 Crypto Donation Raised Via Elf Token for Toys for Tots</strong></h2>
Elf Token is a new team-driven cryptocurrency that aims to help Toys for Tots donate a fee from each investor to charity work. The token recently raised over $40,000 for the charity program in just two weeks. The cryptocurrency’s goal this year is to donate $100,000 to the charity program.

The fund was raised in collaboration with The Giving Block which helps nonprofits build a cryptocurrency fundraising program, provide education, training, and a technical solution.
