Toys for Tots 2017 January 9, 2018Century 21 Redwood Realty Loudoun County, VA – For the fifth year in a row, My Guys Moving & Storage, a moving company that gives back to the local community, had the great privilege of contributing manpower and trucks to transport hundreds of toys generously gathered by the folks at Century 21 Redwood Realty. Special thanks to Rebecca Vittitow, Lars Henriksen, Kevin LaRue, and the many agents, friends and family for their amazing collection efforts.

My Guys Moving & Storage worked closely with Frank Holtz, Loudoun County Toys for Tots Coordinator, and Rita Sartori, Toys for Tots Assistant Coordinator, to move the palettes of remaining toys that seed next year’s collection to warehouse space kindly provided by Capital Mechanical. 2018 Toys for Tots Season will begin on October 1, 2018. About Toys for Tots Program: The U. S. Marine Corps Reserve collects new, unwrapped toys each year, and distributes those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The Secretary of Defense approved Toys for Tots in 1995 as an official activity of the U. S. Marine Corps and an official mission of the Marine Corps Reserve. My Guys Moving & Storage proudly supports the local community. For more information, call our office at 703-406-9605. Call Today
