We’re honored to assist Toys for Tots with their annual goal of bringing the joy of Christmas to disadvantaged children by providing moving containers to store the donations collected from local toy drives. While this isn’t the first time U-Pack has participated in Toys for Tots events, it is the first year we’ve contributed on a national level. Local toy drives often result in thousands of donations, making temporary storage a necessity for regional coordinators. Although Toys for Tots was able to provide toys to over 7 million children in 2014, there’s still a gap between that total and the 16 million children living below the poverty level in the United States. We’ve created an infographic to spotlight the rich history of this awesome organization and provide useful info on how you can help Toys for Tots deliver a message of hope to even more children: **Sources:** [Toys for Tots Standing Operating Procedures](https://www.toysfortots.org/about_toys_for_tots/coordinators_corner/2015%20TFT%20SOP.pdf), [Toys for Tots 2014 Annual Report](https://www.toysfortots.org/documents/annual_reports/2014%20Annual%20Report.pdf), [National Center for Children in Poverty](http://www.nccp.org/topics/childpoverty.html) encoding="utf-8" ?![Toys for Tots information and ways to donate toys](https://www.upack.com/sites/www/files/migrate/u88/Toys-For-Tots-Infographic.png) ![Toys for Tots information and ways to donate toys](https://www.upack.com/sites/default/files/u88/Toys-For-Tots-Infographic.png) To find out more about Toys for Tots or to locate the nearest drop-off location, visit the [Toys for Tots website](http://www.toysfortots.org/Default.aspx).
