[font="calibri;"]2014 Toys for Tots Campaign: Dec. 10 and 11, please donate a new unwrapped toy for those in need[/font]

 

 

[font="calibri;"]The MARC Train Service, along with our partners at Amtrak and Bombardier Transportation Service, will host our annual Toys For Tots Drive on December 10 and 11 at Union Station.  Passengers are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the United State Marine Corps.  Marines and volunteers from Amtrak, MARC, and Bombardier, will be present at Union Station during both the morning and afternoon rush hours to collect both toys and cash donations.[/font]

 

[font="calibri;"]For passengers who do not travel to or from Union Station, we are preparing alternatives for you to still be able to contribute toys and cash --we will have more information to share in the coming weeks.[/font]

 

[font="calibri;"]We know that a lot of our passengers will take advantage of in-store and online sales this upcoming weekend.  While doing so, please consider those less fortunate and help make a child's Christmas special. [/font]

 

[font="calibri;"]Thank you in advance for your generosity.[/font]

MARC email, 12/29:

 

2014 Toys For Tots collection: 3000 toys and +$52K cash donations, THANK YOU for your generosity

 

A special message from the MARC Train Service--

 

Thanks to the generosity of our passengers, the United States Marines--along with volunteers from Amtrak, Bombardier Transportation Services, and the Maryland Transit Administration--collected 3,000 toys and $52,282 in cash and check donations on December 10 and 11 at Union Station.  Both of these numbers far exceed previous year's donations.

 

We thank you for your generosity, which has allowed thousands of children in the Washington region to have a very Merry Christmas.  Thank you for your donations and for your patronage of MARC.
