PODS® Partners with Toys for Tots for Holiday Joy
Company Extends Commitment to Storing and Transporting Donated Toys for the Holiday Season
PODS Enterprises, LLC, a pioneer in the moving and storage industry, proudly announces the extension of its partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program for another holiday season. This collaboration has flourished over the past 15 years, marking a significant commitment to helping children in need during the holidays by providing complimentary on-site storage for local Toys for Tots campaigns.
A Generous Donation of Containers
For the upcoming holiday season, PODS is set to donate over 230 containers to aid local Toys for Tots campaigns nationwide. Since initiating this generous commitment in 2010, PODS has contributed more than 3,300 containers at no cost. In the previous year alone, the company supplied 271 containers across the country, which reflects a remarkable 35% increase compared to the year prior.
The Importance of Joy During the Holidays
Retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, the Vice President of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, expressed his gratitude, stating, "Every child deserves the experience of opening a toy or present during the holidays. PODS has certainly done more than its fair share to help us bring that joy to children whose families have been impacted by surging costs of rent, food, and gas. With PODS' generous support, we can fulfill the holiday dreams of thousands of children in need."
Making a Bigger Impact
This partnership has allowed Toys for Tots to enhance its local visibility and expand outreach. As a result, more funds remain dedicated to purchasing toys rather than covering storage expenses. For over 25 years, PODS has been a committed supporter of the military community and collaborates with various military-focused organizations throughout the year.
Building Community Through Giving
"PODS believes in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Our continued sponsorship with Toys for Tots aligns with our core values and allows us to support the organization's mission of fulfilling the holiday dreams of children in need," shared Rich Schwartz, SVP of Corporate Operations at PODS. Celebrating 15 years of partnership, PODS aims to create memorable moments for children every holiday season.
PODS in Action this Holiday Season
In the spirit of giving, PODS is collecting new, unwrapped toys, games, and books from their corporate office and Customer Care Center throughout the holiday season. These donations support the local Toys for Tots campaign in Pinellas County.
The collection period runs until early December, providing ample opportunity for employees and the community to contribute to this noble cause.
