HARRISBURG, Pa. – Ollie's Bargain Outlet announced Thursday that it has raised more than $1.3 million for the Marine Toys for Tots Program. From November 2nd to December 6th, participating Ollie's stores collected donations at checkout and served as official drop-off locations for customers to donate new toys and books to help bring the joy of Christmas to kids and families in the communities Ollie's serves.
"Our partnership with Toys for Tots keeps growing stronger and stronger," said Scott Osborne, Senior Vice President of Store Operations at Ollie's. "Collecting a record $1.3 million along with thousands of toys and books is truly inspiring, and it's all thanks to the generosity of our amazing customers and associates. Even when times are tight, they find ways to give, celebrate, and support their communities. Caring for others is core to our culture, and we are honored to be part of this tradition and partnership."
"We are pleased to welcome Ollie's back for their 7th year as a major National Corporate Sponsor of Toys for Tots," said retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, Vice President of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. "With their generous support we will be able to fulfill the holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children, who otherwise might be forgotten."
