Make a difference to a child this Christmas

Shawn Gilfillan • November 15, 2023

'Tis the season to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for and to share in the joy and spirit of Christmas. As you embark on your holiday shopping spree for that perfect gift, consider extending the festive cheer to those who are less fortunate. Even a small contribution can make a significant impact in making a child's Christmas special.



 Santa boxes full of toys


In 2023, Automotive Magic and Magic Lube & Rubber proudly serve as drop locations for Marine Toys for Tots.


This year marks the 76th anniversary of this incredible giving opportunity, and we are thrilled to contribute to building awareness and supporting countless children who might otherwise go without gifts this Christmas.


For those considering donations, here are the updated Toys for Tots Gift Guidelines for 2023:

 

  • New and unwrapped items are preferred.
  • Aim for a price range of $10 or above.
  • Books are highly needed (children receive 2 toys each, and 3 books count as ONE gift!).
  • Homemade toys are also warmly welcomed.


Let's all do a little that will mean a lot. Your thoughtfulness and generosity are sincerely appreciated.


Thank you for making a difference, Shawn Gilfillan P.S. While I'm a big kid at heart, I promise I won't play with anything!



Marines Toys for Tots


Toys for Tots doesn't limit its support to the holiday season alone; it extends assistance year-round to less fortunate families facing challenges and exceptional circumstances. This initiative sends a message of hope that resonates beyond the festive period, helping children develop into responsible citizens and caring members of their community.
