This holiday season, we challenged our employees to support our community and give back to those in need. Our employees joined together and formed 8 teams to support the causes that mean the most to them. Over the past few weeks, they have been busy planning bake sales, shopping for kids in need, and organizing food and toy drives. Now you can join the fun and help us spread holiday joy across the Cape. 

If you like to participate, donations can be dropped off at our Hyannis Sales Office at 216 Thornton Drive.

Toys for Tots

Over the 65 years of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, Marines have distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million needy children. This charitable endeavor has made U.S. Marines the unchallenged leader in looking after less fortunate children at Christmas. Join us in making the holidays special for children across the Cape by donating new, unwrapped toys now through December 18th.
