TOYS FOR TOTS

The Palo Alto Mission is proud to be a donation drop off point for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted

The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.

Bring a new unwrapped toy to the mission for the program - Feel the joy from giving!

Scientology FAQ

Why do some people attack Scientology?

"The secrets of a person who is evilly disposed toward his fellows are not safe around a Scientologist. The hidden motives of a group attempting the enslavement of a people are too easily penetrated by a Scientologist. And the fight against him is inspired by terror and guilt - and terror and guilt are far too weak to win against truth...
"Unfortunately, the person who does not want you to study Scientology is your enemy as well as ours. When he harangues against us to you as a 'cult,' as a 'hoax,' he or she is only saying, 'Please, please, please don't try to find me out.'....
"But Scientology is also generous, tolerant and kind. And before the breadth of its understanding and the kindness of its people, a new world can be born for anyone, a world without war, criminality or the insane.
"But also, much more personally can be born a real friendship where there was private fear before, a real family founded on mutual trust, a real marriage where its partners are united against the world, not divided from one another by hidden acts.
"Beware the person or group who fights Scientology, for that person fights truth- not the truth of natural laws, but the truth about himself.
"It's well worth knowing, we assure you."
L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology
