Thunder-Rode Motorcycle Accessories has
become a drop-off location for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
Program. The mission of the U.S. Marine
Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during November
and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to underprivileged
children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
The Toys for Tots campaign delivers a
message of hope. The goal is to motivate
children, through the kindness of a new Christmas gift, to grow into
responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help
needy children throughout the United States experience the joys of Christmas
and to unite all members of local communities in a common cause during the
annual toy collection and distribution campaign.
Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is an IRS
recognized 501(C)(3) not-for-profit public charity and is the fund raising,
funding, and support organization for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for
Tots Program. From 1991-2018, the Foundation has provided 251 million children
with 548 million toys.
The local toy collection campaign for
Mohave County (North) begins November 1
st. Toy distribution normally takes place on
December 23 and 24. Members of the community can drop new, unwrapped toys in a collection
box positioned at Thunder-Rode Motorcycle Accessories. Coordinators pick up the
toys and they are then sorted by age and gender. At Christmas, coordinators,
with the assistance of local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other
local community agencies, distribute the toys to the disadvantaged children of
the community.
The ultimate success of the Toys for Tots
Campaign depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of
the people who donate new toys. Local
business leaders, such as Thunder-Rode Motorcycle Accessories, play a key role
in the program. They allow coordinators
to place collection boxes in their place of business and help coordinators
arrange media exposure for Toys for Tots in the local community.
