Thank you KTX Warehousing & Logistics for our Warehouse Space This Christmas Season!
|
|
We had to move out of our warehouse in Ennis, so we are no longer on Clay Street. Our new warehouse will be in Waxahachie, off of Lucas Street. Additional information will be passed as it is available.
It is important to note that we will NOT have our new warehouse space until November 1st. We will operate without a warehouse in October and things will start to pick up in November. |
Agency Partners Needed (Applications Open NOW!)
The Ellis County Toys for Tots Campaign provides toys to approved Agency partners for distribution to the approved families. Nonprofits and other organizations will be approved on a case-by-case basis. The campaign coordinator has the final say in who will be approved. This is a great opportunity for an organization to positively impact their community during the Christmas season.

Working with Agency partners allows us to reach more families that either didn't know about us or we wouldn't be able to reach otherwise. You run your operation and we help you make it happen. Once toys are provided to you, you distribute them as you see fit.
The campaign handles all toy collection efforts and distributes toys to YOU to pass out to families. This is great for pre-existing Christmas-time charities and other organizations alike. Churches, Shelters, Schools, and food banks are great examples of those that could benefit from being an Agency partner with the Toys for Tots program. However, many others could be a great fit as well.

Become A Toy Drop Site (Applications Open NOW!)
Are you interested in having a toy collection box at your business/location? Applications for individuals to sign up for a collection box are open now. Some specific locations have their box from last year; however, every location must have an up-to-date approved application in the system to be legitimate and legal with the Marine Toys for Tots program. This is an excellent way for people to look up a nearby box location on our website and visit your approved location, potentially bringing you more business.

Host a Toys for Tots Event (Applications Open NOW!)
Hundreds of Toys for Tots events occur every year in Ellis County. Anything from a small family or business Christmas party to a big corporate event or Fox4 Media Week Event. The possibilities are endless!
A few children have birthday parties at the end of the year and ask for toys to be donated instead of birthday presents. Some small businesses do promotions to drive more customers to their business. A good example is 15% off your purchase when you donate a toy. We understand the commitment that takes for your business, but it drives home that anything could be a Toys for Tots event.
Lastly, for every two toys you collect, you help to provide presents under the tree for a single child that may very well have not had anything. Please consider helping us collect as many toys as possible. The more we collect, the more items the children receive, and ultimately, the more children we can support.
