Bring Joy to Children Less Fortunate



Hendrick Honda is proud to join the U. S Marine Corps Reserve for the 8th year in a row to help the Toys for Tots Foundation collect toys for children who are less fortunate.

As some families struggle to bring joy to their children during Christmas, the Toys for Tots program asks for your help in collecting toys to be redistributed to these families.  The goal for Hendrick Honda is to support this program by filling up a vehicle on our showroom floor with new unwrapped toys.  Anyone can stop by our dealership and donate any new toy, large or small.  The key is to make this an enjoyable Christmas for as many Children in our local community as possible.    

Due to the overwhelming donation of toys the past seven years, Hendrick Honda is thrilled to serve as a Toys for Tots drop off location for an 8th year.  Last year, vehicles on our showroom floor were filled to the brim with toys, and this year we would like to collect even more toys.  Please join us and the Marine Corps Reserve in supporting Toys for Tots by donating any new unwrapped toy to our dealership at 8901 South Blvd. from November 14th through December 17th, 2016.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 51(c) (3) tax exempt not for profit charity, is the authorized fund raising and support organization for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.  The mission of the Foundation is to provide a tangible sign of hope to economically disadvantaged children during Christmas.  While the Marines coordinate and manage the program, the Foundation’s success depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of people who donate toys, and that’s why we at Hendrick Honda have joined this cause.

Hendrick Honda appreciates your continued support of this very worthwhile charity.
