I have been involved in the annual Toys for Tots toy drive for the past few years and is something I like to do. At first, I would just buy some toys at the toy store on Black Friday or early December and donate at work. A few years ago no one volunteered to head the drive at work and there were no donation bins. I was disappointed and had to find another drop off location, barely making the deadline. After this, I decided to take a more active role and became the coordinator for two of our offices in two different counties. I combine donations with another office and we drive them all to the USMC Reserve Center in Hialeah, FL where the toys are collected and distributed to the community.
We had a good collection this year. The main coordinator is new this year so I helped him out. We got started a little late but have a good plan for next year so hopefully we can get even more toys in 2017.
