The Arnold Law Firm is proud to be an official drop-off location for the Marine Toys for Tots Program.
Help us bring cheer to local children in need by donating a new, unwrapped toy at our office located at 865 Howe Avenue in Sacramento during business hours (8:30 am – 5:00 pm). Our last day of collection is Wednesday, December 13th.
For over 70 years, Toys for Tots, has collected and distributed toys to less fortunate children at Christmas. The program objective is to help children in need across the nation experience joy and hope through the tangible gift of a new toy.
According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, over 14 million children live at or below the poverty level within the United States. Today, Toys for Tots distributes an average of 18 million toys to 7 million children in the United States each year.
When Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendrick founded Toys for Tots in 1947, he happened to be a personal friend of Walt Disney. As a favor to his friend, Walt designed the first Toys for Tots poster — including the iconic three-car train that eventually became the program logo.
Thank you for your help in advance for this great cause!
