For the 10th year in a row, Stater Bros. has helped spread cheer through the local Toys for Tots program. Stater Bros. Charities, the charitable arm of Stater Bros. Markets, in December presented a $57,450 check to representatives from the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.
The U.S. Marine Corps used the the donation to purchase thousands of toys this year. These toys were distributed to community-based organizations in San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties, and these organizations donated the toys to local children and families who were in need this holiday season.
“The Stater Bros. family believes in giving back to the communities we serve,” said Jack H. Brown, chairman of the board and CEO of Stater Bros. Markets. “We are very proud to once again provide funding to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program so that many more children will have their holiday wishes come true.”
The donation was made possible through a partnership between Stater Bros. Charities, Stater Bros. Markets, manufacturers of Stater Bros. brand products and six national brand manufacturers, including Clorox, ConAgra Foods, Kraft Foods, Nestlé Sales, Pepsi Beverages Co. and Smucker Retail Foods Inc. Stater Bros.’ customers support the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program every time they purchase select Stater Bros. brand or national brand products.
