Toys for tots. How does it work?

I don’t have any children, but have always wondered about what qualifies a person for Toys for Tots. I am always leary of donating to any organization because I think there are a lot of able bodied people that just are lazy and expect others to just give them everything. It seems that way in my area anyways. I used to work with a young mom that would brag about not having to shop due to the free toys from Toys for tots. I drive by the warehouse where they are giving them away and there are hundreds of people in line.

What does one have to do to apply and qualify for gifts?

Is there a limit to how many toys they can take?

Is it a first come first serve kind of line?

I have plenty of money to give away to the less fortunate at Christmas, but I don’t want my generosity to be abused.
I’m aware how you go about donating, but can anyone just say they need toys or do they screen the people to make sure that there is a real need for assistance?

What would be a good organization to donate used toys and books in South Chicago?

In honor of MLK, Day of Service, my children and I would like to donate gently used toys and books to an organization that could really use them.
