Personal Story, If you would like to share a personal story of how Toys for Tots helped you or your family during a difficult time. We will keep your identity private if requested. We want to share with others that might be going through a similar time and let them know there is a way through that time and that their children will not be forgotten! Please make sure you share as much as you would like and if you have photos they are always helpful when telling your story. Thank you so much for sharing with us! Coordinators, whether this is an event during the spring and summer months or a special event during the holiday season, we want to hear from you and the impact your event had on the community! Below is a list of items that we would love to have for writing the marketing materials—the more information provided, the better. • Facts and figures -Organization name/location/mission statement, etc. -How many children were supported? -When did the event start and conclude? -How many volunteers? -How many toys, books, and games were distributed? -Were there other items distributed? • Quotes from volunteers, families/parents, children—names aren’t necessary, we want to make it generic. -What does this distribution event mean to the children, families, and community? -What were the emotions of the children receiving the gifts? • Quotes from the organization’s staff—you can ask for their name and permission to use it in marketing materials. • Why was this event so beneficial to the community and the children? • Has this community faced hardships recently?
