Toys for Tots December 2013

This holiday season, Country Nissan, Northampton Volkswagen, Patriot Buick GMC and Country Hyundai  were all a Toys-for-Tots drop off location. The Service Department at each location offered service discounts to anyone that brought in a toy. Customers could donate 1 toy and get 5% off service or donate 2 toys and get 10% off service! 

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.

TommyCar Auto is already anticipating the growth of the drive next Holiday season! Thank you so much to everyone who donated!
