College Ford Lincoln Creates a Mountain of Toys for Angel Tree
This is the sixth year that College Ford Lincoln has committed to collecting hundreds of toys for the Angel Tree Christmas Campaign. Participating in this campaign demonstrates a commitment to giving back to the community and spreading joy, especially during the holiday season. It brings hope to the lives of children and their families, who face significant challenges during the holidays.
On Thursday, December 19, 2024, College Ford Lincoln delivered 18 cartfuls of toys to the Angel Tree Toy Depot, with the total mountain of toys valued at $15,000 filling their trucks and our shelves. These acts of kindness truly bring us together as a community, creating a ripple effect of generosity and compassion.
Derek Stimson Jr. of College Ford Lincoln said, "At College Ford Lincoln, we believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting those who need it most. We are proud to be a part of so many local charities and events every year, but working alongside Angel Tree to support families in need holds a special place in our hearts. It's a chance for us not just to give but to truly make a difference in the lives of those facing hardship. Together, we can bring hope, joy, and a brighter future to families who need it most, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute."
