Hermann Cares: Toys for Tots drive
On Saturday, December 10th, Hermann Cares hosted a Toys for Tots toy drive at our corporate headquarters in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.
Toys for Tots is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and has proudly distributed over 627 million toys to date. Hermann has been a proud sponsor of Toys for Tots since 2006, involving all our Eastern and Southwest US locations. Last year we were able to collect over 4,000 toys along with several hundred bicycles and books, and with a few days left to donate, we hope to beat that record this year!
This past Saturday was a beautiful day of sunshine, pizza, cookies, and a special appearance from Santa Claus! Thanks to our generous donors that day, we were able to fill over fifteen donation boxes for Toys for Tots – and we still have toys coming in from our Amazon wish list! Thank you to all who have donated and continue to help us deliver joy to children in need this holiday season.
We would also like to thank the South Brunswick Police Department for their promotion of and presence at the toy drive, Nomad Pizza for feeding our guests, and the Hermann staff for donating their time and support of this wonderful event. And of course – thank you to Santa Claus for stopping by to take pictures with everyone who visited our office!
We look forward to continuing our partnership with Toys for Tots and helping those less fortunate during this season for years to come.
🦌Be a dear and watch for wildlife! We are still in deer mating season, so continue to use extra caution when driving.
