Toys for Tots drive at my office

[Cassidy Reese]

The Christmas season is here and this is my favorite time of year!!! (according to retailers it has been Christmas since September).  Even though I live several states away from most of my family now, this time of year always makes me think about all of my family's wonderful Christmas traditions and the amazing memories we made as a family while building our enormous Christmas village, and waking my exhausted parents at 6 am so we could open all of our parents. Unfortunately I know there are a lot of children in the greater New Orleans area and all over our country that don't get to make the kinds of memories with their family that I am so privileged to have made. There is an ever growing number of children in foster care or shelters that may get very little or nothing for Christmas without the generosity of  big-hearted strangers.

My coworkers and I are trying to make small Christmas miracle and bring some smiles to the children in the city. Our office is a designated Toy's for Tots drop off location. We would love for you to help us make our donation bin overflow with toys for the children in our city. Our Office is located at 2424 Edenborn Suite 170 in Metairie, LA.If you do not live in the surrounding area or can't make it to our office, you can make a toy donation to Toys for Tots at any Toys-R-Us or Walgreen's location before December 21st.
