CertaSite Serves' Toys for Tots Donation Drive Kicks Off Today

Written by CertaSite Editor | Nov 23, 2021 1:45:00 PM

CertaSite Serves is back for Q4! With the success of last year’s campaign, we’ve decided to again team up with Toys for Tots to support their annual toy drive. We are so excited to launch our holiday community initiative as part of CertaSite Serves, and we're excited to see the amazing achievements of this campaign with your help.

Our drive this year will begins today, November 23 and will run through December 20. Each location has a different drop-off deadline with many ending prior to December 20. We encourage online donations through December 20 once local drop off is complete.

With many folks still reeling from the impact of COVID-19, buying toys and fulfilling wish lists for Santa will again be tough this holiday season. Every child deserves a special holiday celebration so CertaSite Serves is again partnering with Toys for Tots to make this happen. Our goal is to gather a total of 1000+ toys. If each branch collected 100 toys, think about what a blessing that will be to our CertaSite friends and neighbors who are trying to make the holidays special.

Toys for Tots, founded in 1991 by the Marine Corps, collects new unwrapped toys and distributes these toys to less fortunate children during the holidays. The foundation's mission is, through the gift of a new toy, to help bring the joy of the holidays and send a message of hope to America's less fortunate children.
