America’s Car-Mart, Inc. Kicks-Off 13th Annual Holiday Toy Drive
02 November 2021 - 7:00AM
America’s Car-Mart, Inc., one of the largest publicly held
automotive retailers in the "integrated auto sales and finance"
segment of the used car market, today, announced its Holiday Toy
Drive, the company’s 13th year to conduct a toy drive during
November.
Since 2009, Car-Mart has collected thousands of
toys for kids at children’s hospitals. This year, Car-Mart’s goal
is to collect 25,000 toys for sharing with 25 hospitals in
Car-Mart’s 12-state area. [See the list of hospitals below]. In
2020, Car-Mart collected over 11,000 toys for 15 children’s
hospitals.
“We are excited to conduct our annual toy drive
again this year. All of us at Car-Mart will work hard to make this
our largest holiday toy drive in our history and to make this
season the brightest one yet for children spending the holidays in
the hospital,” said Jeff Williams, President & Chief Executive
Officer. “This time of year, it’s all about giving and helping to
bring holiday joy to so many deserving children.”
“It’s so hard to be a child in the hospital
during the holidays. That’s the main reason these toy drives are so
important. The kids know the community is rallying around them,”
says Rebecca Neely, Development Officer, Arkansas Children’s
Foundation. “In 2020, our hospital collected over $300,000 in toys
and donations. It gets bigger and better every year. America’s
Car-Mart has been the biggest toy donor the last two years. It’s
incredible to see the support from the company and its customers.
It’s so amazing to see everyone rallying around our patients and
their families.”
Car-Mart will serve as a toy donation
destination in its communities. The company welcomes anyone (no
purchase necessary) to donate new, unwrapped toys as part of its
Holiday Toy Drive. Toys can be dropped off Monday through Saturday
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at any America’s Car-Mart.
“Every toy will make a difference, and we are
grateful for the opportunity to help ensure that children who have
to be hospitalized during the holidays will enjoy some holiday
magic. For November and December, it’s the most important thing we
can do at America’s Car-Mart,” said Leon Walthall, Chief Operating
Officer.
