Gold Seal Plumbing: Proud to Support Toys for Tots and Spread Holiday Joy

At Gold Seal Plumbing, we’re honored to serve as an official drop-off location for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. It’s a cause we hold dear, as it allows us to bring smiles and joy to less fortunate children during the holiday season and make a positive impact in our Spokane community.

What is the Toys for Tots Program?

The Toys for Tots Program was founded by Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR, in 1947 when his wife, Diane, wanted to donate a handcrafted doll to a child in need. When they couldn’t find an organization to make the donation, she encouraged Bill to start one. That same year, the first Toys for Tots campaign collected and distributed 5,000 toys to children in Los Angeles. The program’s success inspired the U.S. Marine Corps to adopt it nationwide in 1948, and since then, it has grown to become a major holiday charity effort that spans across the country.

The mission of Toys for Tots is to collect new, unwrapped toys from October through December and distribute them as Christmas gifts to children who may not otherwise receive any presents. By providing these gifts, the program seeks to deliver a message of hope and inspire children to become productive, responsible, and patriotic citizens. Over the decades, Toys for Tots has helped millions of children experience the magic of the holidays, and it continues to be a symbol of the incredible generosity and compassion of local communities.
