Saia's 2017 Toys for Tots program collected nearly 4000 toys and over $2000 in employee donations for children.
Starting in 2014, Saia partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve outreach program, Toys for Tots, to make the holiday season a little brighter for disadvantaged children throughout our network. This past November, Saia continued its support of the program by placing bins in all of its terminals and offices so employees could donate toys to the organization.
This year, not only did we again collect nearly 4000 toys, but Saia employees donated over $2000 to our online fund drive. In addition to improving upon the already amazing number of donations made by Saia employees, the company donated $25,000 to support the charity’s mission — bringing its total contributions to $100,000 over four years.
During the 2017 campaign, the U.S. Marine Corps provided nearly seven million less fortunate children with a toy at Christmas as part of their “desire to enrich (the) lives (of children) through the social enjoyment of play, the magic of a book, and the physical experience of sport.”
Thank you to everyone who donated to the campaign…you made a difference in the life of a child!
