Toys for Tots: Helping Families in Need this Holiday Season

[ December 15, 2023   //   ]

This festive season, the employees of Port Canaveral did their part to brighten the holidays for Brevard County children through heartwarming contributions to the Marine Corps Reserve’s renowned “Toys for Tots” initiative. In a year marked by increased need, Toys for Tots witnessed a record number of families seeking assistance. Approximately 1,000 families and 10 organizations in Brevard County rely on the program to bring joy to their homes.

Getting into the holiday spirit, a dedicated team of “Elves” from Port Canaveral transformed a truck into a charming Santa’s sleigh, stocked with an array of donations. The thoughtful contributions comprised a delightful assortment, including bikes, toys, fishing gear, skateboards, scooters, ride-on toys for toddlers, and the coveted Squishmallows© – a highly sought-after item among kids this season. With safety as our paramount concern, all bike donations were accompanied by essential safety helmets and locks, ensuring that each gift not only brought joy but also prioritized the well-being of the recipients. At Port Canaveral, we take pride in fostering holiday cheer while upholding our commitment to safety and community support.
