For the fourth consecutive year, CertaSite's philanthropic arm CertaSite Serves is participating in the annual Toys for Tots donation drive!

CertaSite employees continue to show up in big ways to donate toys to the less fortunate children around our communities. We are so excited to launch our holiday CertaSite Serves community initiative.

Our Toys for Tots drive this year runs from November 1 - December 20, 2023. Each CertaSite branch has a different toy drop-off deadline with many in early- to mid-December. Once your branch drop-off deadline arrives, we encourage online donations through December 20.

Each year we have participated in this incredible initiative (2020, 2021, 2022), we not only reached our goal of 1,000 toys, but far exceeded it due to all of your generosity. Our goal this year is to gather a total of more than 1,000 toys. If each CertaSite branch collects 60 toys, think about what a blessing that will be to our CertaSite friends and neighbors who are trying to make the holidays special.

[Toys for Tots](https://www.toysfortots.org/), founded in 1947 by Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks, collects new unwrapped toys and distributes these toys to less fortunate children during the holidays. The foundation's mission is, through the gift of a new toy, to help bring the joy of the holidays and send a message of hope to America's less fortunate children.
