Making an Impact During National Military Appreciation Month: Maaco Joins Forces with Toys for Tots as a National Corporate Donor

For over 77 years, Toys for Tots has delivered joy to children in need and Maaco’s financial support as a national corporate donor will help them fulfill this mission for yet another year. Later this year, customers can visit participating Maaco shops to donate toys of their own. Toys for Tots is a program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and is often referred to as Marine Toys for Tots.

“Every contribution given to the Marine Toys for Tots Program represents more than just a gift—it’s a message of hope and joy,” said Major Gunnar Spafford USMC (Retired), DVP of Business Development, Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “Maaco’s support ensures that more disadvantaged children experience the magic of the holidays and a year-round reminder that they are not forgotten, regardless of their circumstances."

Although Toys for Tots is best known for its holiday gift-giving campaigns, the organization operates year-round, offering literacy programs, foster care initiatives, community events, and more – all to benefit underserved children.

“At Maaco, we believe in giving back and making a lasting impact,” said Kathryn Wooldridge, director, content and communications, Maaco. “Partnering with Toys for Tots allows us to combine its year-round force of good with our year-round force of quality-driven customer satisfaction. Together, we can create a brighter future for children and families across the nation.”

With hundreds of its franchisees deeply ingrained in and committed to their communities, Maaco views charitable activations with Toys for Tots as an opportunity to further build its support in communities across the U.S.
