Reading, Pa. - Redner's Markets has concluded its 2005 United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program and is excited to announce a monetary donation of $97,489 and four tractor-trailers of new toys donated to local Toys for Tots programs. The monetary donations collected will be presented to local detachments of the Marine Corps or Marine Corps Leagues for use in their 2006 program. All new toys were collected and distributed before 12/25 to children within each store's community. Redner's Markets has been participating with the Toys for Tots program for 24 years collecting monetary donation and new toys with an emphasis that all donations are used within the communities where they are collected.
Throughout the months of November and December, all Redner's Warehouse Markets and Quick Shoppes become drop-off points for new toys to be donated to local needy children during the holiday season. During this time, Redner's associates ask customers to participate and donate $1 towards the program by purchasing a Toys for Tots paper choo choo train or drop their loose change at each register. Customers can write their name or a message on the train, which is hung on the store wall until December 25. Any time during this program, one can see thousands of Toys for Tots choo choo trains adorning the walls of both Warehouse Markets and Quick Shoppes.
Redner's
currently operates 40 Warehouse Markets and 11 Quick Shoppes throughout Eastern
Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York. Redner's
Markets Inc. is committed to
working with the communities where each Warehouse Market and Quick Shoppe is
located. Redner's continually
strives to provide the lowest prices, freshest products and outstanding service
that its customers have come to expect for 36 years.
