With the holiday season in full swing, the residents of the Coastal Bend are coming together to assist those less fortunate. One initiative that has strong roots and participation in the area is Toys for Tots. This nationwide campaign, which began in 1947, aims to bring the joy of Christmas to America's needy children.
"Toys for Tots is a nationwide campaign and has strong roots and participation in Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Rockport-Fulton, and the Coastal Bend area," said Marine Major Bill Hendricks, the founder of the initiative. "Since its inception, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program has distributed over 452 million toys to more than 209 million needy children across the country."
Events are held throughout the area to promote the Toys for Tots holiday drive, with Marines from the local Naval Air Station collecting donations. District 32, with its strong military base, generous-minded people, and charitable presence, is an ideal place for Toys for Tots to make a difference in the lives of children in need.
In addition to Toys for Tots, there are many other charitable events happening in the area this holiday season. Feeding Texas is an organization that offers volunteer opportunities to those looking to make a difference in the community.
As State Representative Todd Hunter, who represents Aransas County and part of Nueces County, states, "With the holidays upon us, let us join together in helping the community and bettering the lives of those around us."
If you would like to learn more about Toys for Tots or get involved, please visit the Toys for Tots – Corpus Christi website.
If you have any questions or issues regarding a Texas state agency, or if you would like to contact Representative Hunter's office regarding constituent services, his offices are available at any time to assist with questions, concerns, or comments.
Let's make this holiday season a time of joy and giving for all, especially those in need.
