Grand Design RV Co. said it is thrilled to host Christmas in July, an event supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. Toys for Tots is a 70-year national charitable program with the goal of “delivering, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youth in support of becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens,” the organization states.
Grand Design encourages the community to join the fun this Saturday and help stuff a Momentum toy hauler that will be on hand. The public toy drive will be from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Grand Design’s Customer Support Center, 5200 Hoffman St. in Elkhart. The Honor Network, a Grand Design Goodwill Ambassador, will also be on-site to help collect donations.
“Grand Design is honored to partner with the Toys for Tots program in support of patriotism and our local community,” said Don Clark, president and CEO of Grand Design RV. “Our team members have been gathering toys to donate throughout the month and many will be volunteering at the event to greet and assist fellow community members who choose to participate. We live in an extremely generous area, and it puts a smile on all of our faces to host an event that positively impacts our local youth.”
Toys donated will directly benefit children in the Elkhart County and the surrounding area. Only new and/or unwrapped toys will be accepted. Neither toy guns, bows, or arrows will be accepted for donation.
Food trucks will be on-site to provide food for purchase and accept cash donations. Mission BBQ coupons will also be gifted to the first handful of community members to donate.
