Our Mission
At Desirae’s Darlings, a registered 501(c)(3) charity EIN: 92-3216417, we are dedicated to spreading joy and hope to underprivileged children during the holiday season in loving memory of our beloved daughter, Desirae Marie Gallart, who passed away in 2010.
We are dedicated to supporting the USMC Toys for Tots Program through the collection of monetary donations and new unwrapped toys.
Through Desirae’s Darlings, we strive to uplift spirits and make a lasting positive impact on the lives of these young darlings, keeping Desirae's spirit of kindness and generosity alive in
our hearts.

Our History
Desirae's Darlings was established in 2023 when Joe Gallart decided to honor the memory of his late daughter by continuing to collect new Toys for the USMC Toys for Tots program. Joe and his team have been collecting toys since 2016 when he delivered just 21 toys. In 2023, over 6,000 toys were collected and delivered to the less fortunate kids in our communities. In addition to our robust social media fundraising efforts, we have hosted homemade pizza/toy swap events as well as comedy show fundraisers in an effort to make donating fun and exciting.
