We need your help.
We believe every veteran's child deserves to have a joy-filled Christmas, so Veterans Funeral Care coordinates Operation Toy Soldier in Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties. Toys are collected throughout the year and distributed with help from local military organizations, MacDill Air Force base and area churches. Last year we donated over 1800 toys locally. Want to be a part of this special program? Read on for how you can help.
1. Donate toys. 🧸🪁🪀🏈🎨 About 90% of our toys come from folks just like you! Drop off can happen at our funeral home or we can give you a list of our community collection sites.
2. Donate money. 💰 There are hard costs involved with OTS, like purchasing gifts for older children and renting the moving truck used to distribute toys. You cash donations will be put to good use. OTS is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and your donation is tax deductible.
3. Donate your talents. 🤲💪😁❤ Want to help pick up and sort toys? Perhaps you would like to volunteer at our Live Nativity event and help with toy collection? There are many hands needed.
Are you ready to get into the Christmas spirit? 🎄 If so, please contact Tracy Stanko at 727-524-9202 and become a part of this special program. Every year we try to decide who's hearts are fuller, the children receiving the toys or the generous helpers who make Operation Toy Soldier a big success! Won't you join us? 😍
