First Colony Mall will be a collection site for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. First Colony Mall will collect new, unwrapped toys during the months of November and December so Toys for Tots can distribute Christmas gifts to needy children in the community. Shoppers are asked to look for the Toy’s for Tots boxes and ‘shop and drop’ often during the holiday season.
“First Colony Mall is proud to make the holidays a little brighter for area families,” said Donna Molho, general manager for the shopping center. “With today’s economic environment, it’s especially important to partner with organizations such as Toys for Tots to ensure children in our community experience the magic of the season. It has been a longstanding tradition for First Colony Mall to join with other Fort Bend organizations in support of our county’s Toys for Tots program. I hope we can count on everyone to donate generously again this year.”
There are two collection boxes at First Colony Mall. One is near the Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Splash! play area and the second is near Santa’s Rudolph Studio in the Dillard’s court. Additional drop-off locations in Fort Bend County, include:
Casa Ole restaurant, 12203 Murphy Rd. in Stafford
Kids r Kids, 21955 Westheimer Pkwy. at Mason Road
Legacy Ford Lincoln 27225 Southwest Freeway, Richmond
Republic Harley-Davidson, 12707 Southwest Freeway, Stafford.
Toys for Tots began in 1947 with 5,000 toys collected and last year local campaigns were conducted in 657 communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Marines and volunteers have distributed more than 16.2 million toys to 7.6 million children.
