With the holiday season fast approaching, it's the perfect time to come together as friends and coworkers to help those less fortunate have a Merry Christmas. With the busy holiday season upon us, going to a store to purchase a new unwrapped present to donate is not always easy. As an alternative, this GoFundMe site has been established to give employees, no matter where they are located, a means to contribute and take part in this annual Milton CAT tradition. Every dollar you donate will be given to our Veteran Marine Corps employees to purchase new unwrapped toys to donate to families struggling this holiday season.

Traditional donation boxes will be placed in the common areas of Milford 100, 101 and 330 for those who would like to make a physical toy donation. For all of you at the surrounding stores, a skid box will be strategically placed for physical toy donations. See your local Service Manager for the location. New this year, we are including our Milton Rents locations, so they can take part in this annual tradition.

Donation boxes will be setup between now and the beginning of next week. All new in box, unwrapped toy donations can be made anytime up through end of day Wednesday, December 10th for all locations except Milford. Milford is Friday, December 12th. The earlier cutoff time for all other location is to allow for shipping, sorting and consolidating upon arrival.

If you would like to make a monetary donation either through GoFundMe or cash, please make your donation by Friday, December 12th. This will allow enough time to purchase the needed toys and meet the wrapping and distribution needs associated with the program. Any monetary donations remaining or that come in after the deadline will be distributed locally to food pantries and churches as per the Marine Doctrine.

Please reach out to our Veteran Marine Corps employee leading the charge, Tom Beder with any questions or if you would like to make a cash donation. Thank you for your support.
