Toys for Tots

AAA South Jersey is teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation this holiday season to help less fortunate children experience the joy of the holidays. Through Thursday Dec. 14th, customers can drop off new, unwrapped toys in the toy drive donation bin prominently placed in the lobby of all four AAA South Jersey locations (http://www.southjersey.aaa.com/search/office).

The Toys for Tots program was founded in 1947 by U.S. Marine Corps Maj. William L. Hendricks, when Hendricks and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles first collected and distributed 5,000 toys to children. The following year, the Marine Corps Reserve adopted the concept and made it a national endeavor.

The collected toys will then be taken to a Toys For Tots center where toys are sorted, wrapped, and distributed to families in our community.

With your help, we can brighten the holiday season for hundreds of children in our area.
