Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Inc. (Ollie’s), one of America’s largest
chains of discount retail stores, proudly announces a national
partnership with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. From now
until December 12th, Ollie’s will serve as an official drop off
location; customers can contribute a toy or cash donation at one of
their 389 stores to help bring the joy of Christmas to less
fortunate children in their local communities.
“Finding a present under the tree on Christmas morning is an
experience every child deserves," said retired Marine Colonel Ted
Silvester, Vice President of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
"Ollie’s has certainly done more than their fair share to help us
bring that joy to children whose families have suffered so much.
This has been an especially difficult year to raise corporate funds
and toy donations, and Ollie’s efforts in support of the Marine
Toys for Tots programs will assist us in fulfilling the Christmas
holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children who
otherwise might be forgotten."
“Partnering with charities that help children in need has always
been part of our core values at Ollie’s. During this difficult
time, we believe it is even more imperative to support an
organization that will bring joy and hope to children and
families,” said John Swygert, President and CEO of Ollie’s, “We are
excited to start this new partnership with the Marine Toys for Tots
Foundation and continue to be amazed by our generous customers and
dedicated associates who repeatedly exceed our expectations to make
these campaigns successful.”
Since 1947, the Marine Toys for Tots foundation has distributed
584 million toys to over 265 million less fortunate children.
Today, Toys for Tots is the nation’s flagship Christmas charitable
cause with local Toys for Tots campaigns conducted from October
through December each year in over 800 communities throughout the
nation.
