2019 Toys for Tots Toy Drive

‘Tis the season for giving!

We invite YOU to join us NOW thru Friday, December 6th in our Toys for Tots Toy Drive.

We are looking for NEW, unwrapped toys to donate to the Marine Toys for Tots program. These toys will then be distributed to less fortunate children at Christmas. Whether you are already out doing your Holiday shopping or you want to get your own children involved in a simple way to give back this holiday season, we appreciate any and all donations.

To show our appreciation, we are offering a FREE cup of coffee or cappuccino (12-16oz) for each customer who brings in a toy during this event.

About Marine Toys for Tots:

GOAL: The primary goal of Marine Toys for Tots is, through the gift of a new toy, help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children.

FOUNDATION MISSION: The mission of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is to assist the U. S. Marine Corps in providing a tangible sign of hope to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas. This assistance includes providing day-to-day leadership and oversight of the Program, raising funds to provide toys to supplement the collections of local Toys for Tots Campaigns, to provide promotional and support material and defray the costs of conducting annual Toys for Tots Campaigns. Other Foundation support includes providing administrative, advisory, financial, logistic and promotional support to local Toys for Tots Coordinators; managing funds raised and monies donated based on the use of Toys for Tots name or logo; providing other support the Marine Corps, as a federal agency, cannot provide; and conducting public education and information programs about Toys for Tots that call the general public to action in support of this patriotic community action program.

Car Washes for Charity: Over $4,000 Raised for Local Non-Profits

A total of $4,015 was donated to these deserving organizations: Sojourner House, Veteran Wellness Program – Trinity Equestrian Center, Beacon House, and The Community Table.
