Toys for Tots!!!

Another successful year for Toys for Tots donation! 🎉

7-9 boxes and 2 unboxed toys!

I actually sorted them out this time and labeled the boxes to make it a little easier for the volunteers.

I had a couple boxes of Barbie’s I got at last years half off sale at work (SUCH a great sale!), bunch of LEGO’s again and then this year I was trying to get more toddler toys too.

Got a fantastic deal on two learning play sets (the blue boxes to the left) and was SO EXCITED!!

This isn’t everything either!

I knew that Ollie’s was an official donor to Toys for Tots, but for some reason it didn’t click until I went to look at something entirely different and saw the signs up that they were a drop off location too!

I did take this load to the warehouse directly for obvious reasons, but I also spent about $50-$60 on toys at Ollie’s too and put them in their boxes!

I’m not done yet because we still have the rest of November and December to go and guess who’s local B&N has Toys for Tots as their Holiday Book Drive recipient this year?

😁

I have a bunch of Rewards stacked up that I was going to use for toys, but I decided to use them for books instead this year!

I love Christmas time!

I will see everyone next week for a crafty post but until then, look up what charities and non-profits are in your area that directly benefit your communities and consider donating!!
