America’s Car-Mart, Inc. Launches 14th Annual Holiday Toy Drive
03 November 2022 - 01:00AM
America’s Car-Mart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRMT) today announced its 14th
annual Holiday Toy Drive to be conducted during November. The
company’s goal is to collect 30,000 toys for sharing with 25
children’s hospitals.
All 154 Car-Mart dealerships in its 12-state
area will serve as toy donation destinations for customers and
local communities. In 2021, the company collected 22,200 toys.
“It’s a season of giving, and America’s Car-Mart
is working hard to make a difference in our communities,” said Jeff
Williams, CEO. “We are proudly continuing our tradition of
conducting our holiday toy drive so we can deliver holiday cheer to
thousands of children in the hospital during the holiday. At
Car-Mart, we believe there’s purpose in what we do, and every day
we come to work to do all we can to help our customers and our
communities.”
“Just thinking of children in the hospital over
the holidays is heart-wrenching. So, it’s this visual that inspires
us to rally together to help these kids,” added Leon Walthall,
Chief Operating Officer, who started the toy drive in 2009. “One of
Car-Mart’s core values is compassion, and it plays out every day
with our associates, customers, and communities. We’re all about
service and kindness to others.”
Several long-time business partners of Car-Mart
are partnering with the company to support the toy drive. KBecks
Transport, an auto hauler for Car-Mart; Shred-it, a world-leading
solution for document or hard drive destruction; and AutoZone, the
largest U.S. aftermarket automotive parts and accessories provider,
will collect toys and also donate money to purchase toys.
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.
“It’s been a challenging year for many of us,
and our amazing associates can’t wait to deliver the toys to the
kids,” Williams concluded. “We hope the toys we collect can bring
joy to children this holiday season and throughout the year."
