Operation Homefront to Lift Financial Burden for Military Families Through Nationwide Toy Drive With Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree customers can purchase and donate toys in stores through December 2nd

For the 15th consecutive year, Dollar Tree customers are invited to purchase holiday toys for military children across the country. Operation Homefront’s Holiday Toy Drive is a program designed to ease the financial burdens that often accompany the holiday season for junior- and mid-grade (E1-E6) service members and their families.

Collection boxes will be placed at store checkout counters through December 2, allowing shoppers to donate their purchased toys. Each year, Operation Homefront volunteers collect the toys to be distributed at the nonprofit’s nationwide holiday events and by on-base Family Readiness Groups. Dollar Tree and Operation Homefront have partnered annually since 2006 to deliver the program.

"Dollar Tree is very proud to partner once again with Operation Homefront through their annual Holiday Toy Drive and serve military families who are often far from their loved ones during the holiday season," said Chelle Davis, Dollar Tree spokesperson. "This year has been difficult for all Americans, including those who serve our nation, and Dollar Tree and its associates are grateful to our generous customers who join us to bring so much joy to these very deserving families."

“Our work with Dollar Tree and their amazing customers over the past 15 years has demonstrated our shared appreciation for all our military families have done and continue to do to protect the freedoms we enjoy daily,” said Brig. Gen. (ret.) John I. Pray Jr., president & CEO of Operation Homefront. “We are absolutely thrilled to have the continued support of Dollar Tree and their caring customers to brighten the holidays for this very special and deserving group of our fellow citizens again this year.”
