Across the United States, individuals and communities often come together to support those in need.

Reflecting this spirit, we were glad to join the U.S. Marine Corps once again for the 2025 Toys for Tots campaign, a tradition Marines support here each festive season. The toys and donations collected were delivered directly to an orphanage in Tashkent as part of the U.S. Embassy’s community outreach.

Every donation, every hour volunteered, and every act of kindness helped turn compassion into happiness for these children.
