Usborne Books
at Home Supports the U.S. Marine Corps. Reserve TOYS FOR TOTS
Program!
Are
children important? Does literacy make a difference? Is developing
a love of learning and reading in children beneficial? Is helping
those in need something that betters our community?
Usborne Books
at Home is proud to once again support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve
Toys for Tots Program.
MISSION:
The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program
is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December
each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy
children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
GOAL:
The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny
new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that
will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic
citizens, and community leaders.
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout
the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active
role in the development of one of our nation's most valuable natural
resources - our children; to unite all members of local communities
in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy
collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better
communities in the future.
HOW WE HELP:
This is a cause close to our hearts; putting books and Kid Kits
into the hands of children. (Kid Kits are educational, hands-on
activity packs which include a book and all the necessary materials
for the activity!) Usborne
Books at Home will match all donations collected on behalf of Toys
for Tots by 50%. Every dollar donated, plus
50% more will be used to purchase Usborne books for needy
children, plus we will ship
orders free of charge to the local Marine Distribution
Center.
HOW
YOU CAN HELP:
Donations should be
sent to Wendy Mills, 4224 California Rd, Orchard Park NY 14127 for
Christmas 2005.
I
have already placed the order for Christmas 2004 delivery.
The
Marines and I, as well as the children who receive these wonderful
gifts, sincerely thank you for your donation!
Have
a wonderful Holiday season!
