Allstate agency owners in Montgomery County are teaming up with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to spread holiday cheer. From now until Friday, December 7, community members are encouraged to stop by their agencies to donate new, unwrapped toys for local children in need. They join hundreds of Allstate agency owners throughout the Northeast in serving as donation drop-off sites this year. Thanks to the volunteerism of participating agencies, Toys for Tots will receive a $30,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grant to help even more children this holiday season.

“As a small business owner in Roslyn, I see firsthand the opportunities and challenges facing our area,” said Stephen Vahey. “I’m proud to join my fellow Allstate agency owners in supporting the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, and encourage community members to stop by to donate to this great organization.”

Over the last two months, Allstate and Toys for Tots have worked closely to organize this multi-state donation drive. Together, they have rallied communities across the Northeast to give back to families in need. To view a list of participating agencies in Pennsylvania, click here.

“We are very pleased to welcome The Allstate Foundation and local Allstate agencies back this year as a major National Corporate Sponsor of the Marine Toys for Tots Program,” said retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, vice president of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “With their generous support, we will be able to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children, who otherwise might have been forgotten.”
