The Automotive Parts Services Group (The Group) is supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign again this year by collecting toys and monetary contributions for deserving children in their local area.
“Our partnership with Toys for Tots resonates with The Group membership. They have enthusiastically taken on its mission and have raised awareness of this wonderful program within their communities," said John Marcum, director of marketing at Federated Auto Parts. “Their dedication has turned Toys for Tots into an impactful, year-round initiative. We extend our gratitude to the Federated Alliance, The Pronto Network and our supplier partners for their continued generosity and support of the campaign.”
Since beginning its partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program in 2012, the Group, its members, and vendor partners have helped raise over $4 million for Toys for Tots. In addition to toy donations at participating locations, financial contributions can be made online by visiting the Group's website and clicking on "Make a Donation." Since 1947, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has distributed more than 652 million toys to more than 291 million children.
“All donations made online or at participating member locations are distributed in the area where the toys and money are collected, helping make the holidays brighter for deserving children in their own communities,” said Marcum.
