Shoppers can place the purchased toys into collection boxes at
store checkout counters through December 3. Operation Homefront
volunteers will collect the toys to be distributed at the
nonprofit’s nationwide holiday events and by on-base Family
Readiness Groups. The annual partnership between Dollar Tree and
Operation Homefront began in 2006.
“Dollar Tree is very proud to partner with Operation Homefront
to help serve military families through their annual Holiday Toy
Drive program,” said Chelle Davis, Dollar Tree spokesperson.
“Supporting our nation’s military families is a high priority for
Dollar Tree and we would like to thank our generous customers who
help us make the holidays a little brighter for military families
across the country."
“Our military families have been hit especially hard by the
COVID-19 pandemic and Dollar Tree’s unwavering commitment to our
mission to help America’s military families who are struggling to
make ends meet is greatly appreciated,” said Brig. Gen. (ret.) John
I. Pray Jr., president & CEO of Operation Homefront. “The need
for our highly valued Holiday Toy Drive program will be even more
important this year and we are thrilled to have the continued
support of the entire Dollar Tree family and all their caring
customers for a 14th season.”
