Drop boxes for new, unwrapped toys are available at participating Mechanics Bank branches.
Mechanics Bank is teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program this holiday season to help ensure less fortunate children can receive a gift.
Customers, employees and community members are invited to donate new, unwrapped toys by placing them in drop boxes located at participating Mechanics Bank branches in California. Donation deadlines vary by county; but a general guideline is Wednesday, Dec. 15, which allows time for Toys for Tots volunteers to sort and distribute the toys where they are needed locally.
Request a Toy This Holiday Season
Parents and legal guardians who want to request for a toy for a child should visit Toys for Tots’ “Request a Toy page,” which will direct them to their local Toys for Tots program for more information.
“Our employees could not be more proud to support the amazing work that Toys for Tots does in our communities,” said Rauly Butler, Director of Retail Banking. “Receiving a new toy during the holidays is a powerful way of creating priceless, life-long memories for children and their families.”
