“For service members with kids, especially in the lower ranks, Christmas shopping is a major expense that can blow a hole in the family budget,” said Jim Knotts, President & CEO of Operation Homefront. “Helping them make their children feel extra special during this festive time is an important aspect of the assistance we provide to military families. By contributing to Operation Homefront’s Holiday Toy Drive - either with an online monetary donation or by dropping off gifts – you’re helping our men and women in uniform provide for their families in these tough economic times.”

In 2011, Operation Homefront’s Holiday Toy Drive collected over 7 million toys nationwide for military kids. In the coming weeks, Operation Homefront will announce additional information on how Americans interested in donating holiday toys to military kids can help.
