Today is National Nonprofit Day—a time to celebrate the organizations, supporters, and volunteers who work every day to strengthen communities and create opportunities for those in need.

For 79 years, Toys for Tots has delivered hope to children and families across America through the generosity of supporters like you.

Since 1947, together we've distributed:

📚 63 million books and educational resources

🧸 732 million toys and games

❤️ support to 325 million children in need

⭐️ Toys for Tots consistently maintains a Program to Support Ratio of 97:3, meaning 97% of donations directly support programs—a benchmark highly respected in the nonprofit sector.

While many know us for our Holiday Campaign, our mission extends far beyond the holiday season. Through year-round programs like our Literacy Program, Disaster Response & Recovery Program, and Foster Care Program, we're committed to delivering hope whenever and wherever children need it most.

Thank you for helping us continue our mission for nearly eight decades.

The 2025 Lebanon PA Toys for Tots Campaign has officially concluded. I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this year a success.

This year was especially difficult due to the loss of my father, who served as the face of Toys for Tots in Lebanon County for almost 50 years. My father dedicated nearly five decades to this cause, inspiring all of us with his compassion and commitment. His spirit guided us through this challenging year, and I am forever thankful for the legacy he left behind.

I want to extend heartfelt thanks to my family—Mom, John Jr, Rich, Kim, Dana, Alysha, and Nikki—for their unwavering support and help throughout the campaign. I could not have done this without you.

Special appreciation goes to all the volunteers who came out to sort, bag, and distribute toys to more than 1,000 families in Lebanon County. Your dedication and hard work ensured that so many children experienced the joy of Christmas.

We are also grateful to the businesses that welcomed Toys for Tots collection boxes into their establishments. The toys collected at your locations played a crucial role in helping us meet our goal this year. Sincere thanks as well to the Army National Guard for providing the use of your building and to all the Guard members who supported us throughout the campaign.

This was truly a team effort, and I appreciate everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to get involved. I hope you will join us again next year—whether by volunteering your time, donating toys, or spreading the word; so we can reach even more families and make an even greater impact together.

Respectfully,

David Gingrich, Coordinator
