Grand Design RV will host Christmas in July, an event supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program.
The public toy drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 23 at the Customer Support Center at 5200 Hoffman Street in Elkhart, Indiana. The Honor Network, a Grand Design Goodwill Ambassador, will be on-site to help collect donations.
Toys donated will directly benefit children in Elkhart County and the surrounding area. Only new and/or unwrapped toys will be accepted. Toy gun and bow-and-arrow donations will not be accepted.
“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 our faces to host an event that positively impacts our local youth.”
Food trucks will be on-site to provide food for purchase and accept cash donations. Mission BBQ coupons will be gifted to the first few community members to donate, Grand Design said.
Since 1947, the Toys for Tots program has assisted over 272 million children. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a not-for-profit organization authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Department of Defense to provide fundraising and other necessary support for the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.
