Gavel International’s 2019 Toys for Tots Drive

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Throughout the year, Gavel International supports various charitable causes to give back to our community and support those in need. During the 2019 holiday season of giving, Gavel International celebrated its 17^th year as a proud corporate sponsor of the Toys for Tots organization.

There’s a special joy that comes when children in need receive a Christmas gift of a toy. The Toys for Tots program is operated by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve to bring hope and smiles to children in need.

This year Gavel employees generously raised $8,000. With the funds raised (and coupon savings), toys valued at over $10,000 were donated to the Toys for Tots charity. This amounted to 500 toys, filling a total of 20 Toys for Tots boxes plus three bikes.
