Spreading a Spirit of Gratefulness through Toys for Tots
/This Holiday season, the Country Nissan, Patriot Buick GMC, and Country Hyundai showrooms were home to huge trucks with a big Toys for Tots box sitting in the back. The Service Departments offered discounts on vehicle maintenance to anyone willing to bring in a gift for the toy drive. Thanks to the response and generous support of community members, Toys for Tots received not only a box full of toys, but a toy-filled back of the truck! These toys were collected by the organization and delivered to in-need children.
Toys for Tots was founded in 1947 by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The purpose of the organization is to provide toys for children whose parents cannot afford Christmas gifts for them. As a result, kids who would otherwise be without the anticipation and joy of gifts are able to share in this Christmas tradition.
