2025 Toys for Tots Campaign

jlzinck · 11-26-2025, 08:32 PM

So after losing my job in June and needing to focus on some mental health priorities I really wasn't going to go full bore this year. I was even NOT going to run the Secret Santa.

Mid October I had a change of heart and moved forward.

If you have participated in any breaks or Secret Santa that benefit the campaign here is what we have so far this year. I still have about $500 to spend as of this writing

The Jacket was purchased at a local store for $45. You donate it back to the store to give to a veteran and then give you a $45 gift card. I went back the next day and spent $80 on toys.

Thank you all for making this happen

Don’t lie, you’ve read the Taylor Swift book 4 times already.

So we are almost done. The Stuff A Bus event starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday.

We are at 216 toys including 2 tricycles, 7 Bikes and 8 scooters. I still have about $50 to spend. Bottom picture is all the toys in my Garage except for the 11 in the other 2 pics in this thread.
