“The 2013 Toys for Tots campaign was a huge success and we have a lot of people to thank” said Coordinator Krista Brezina. “We would like to thank everyone who donated toys or money to our campaign as well as all the businesses and organizations who partnered with us as toy collection sites.
Picking up donations from over 80 sites, sorting toys, setting up our “shopping experience” and helping families select toys, books and stocking stuffers for 1,000 children is a daunting task and could not have been accomplished without the help we received from the following groups and individuals:
Calvert HS NJROTC, Huntingtown HS NJROTC, Northern HS NJROTC, Patuxent HS NJROTC, Calvert County Young Marines, Boy Scout Troop 429, St. John Vianney Catholic Church Men’s Group, Phi Theta Kappa (CSM), Calvert County Fair Board, Jake Jepich, Ssgt Trigger, CE1 English, LNC Carter, Sheri Blake, Lora Norton, Stephanie Lazar, Kimberly Imel, Harry Hill, Kathie Yost, Bridget and Mark McNeary, Lora Delamer, Christine Westherald, Brandi Grabis, Rebecca and Zachary Silvis.
We would also like to thank the Prince Frederick Walmart for allowing us to hold our first “Stuff a Truck” event at their location and we appreciate the Calvert High NJROTC Cadets and Calvert County Young Marines who braved the cold to help us with the toy drive.
Toys for Tots of Calvert County is a volunteer run effort and we would not have been able to accomplish a task of this magnitude without community support. You helped make a Merry Christmas for 1,000 children in Calvert County!”
