Press Release:

Customers who bring in one or more toys to donate will receive a large one-topping Hand Tossed Pizza for $6, now through Dec. 8. The offer will be applied once an in-store team member verifies a customer’s toy donation.
“Engaging with community giving opportunities such as collecting Toys for Tots donations is so fulfilling for our store teams,” said Nona Sonnier, Domino’s director of corporate operations in Virginia. “Domino’s is so much more than a pizza company; we are a company that deeply cares about its communities, and we are pleased to provide our customers with a chance to donate to a special cause.”
Toy donation bins will be collected and dropped off at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico on the afternoon of Dec. 8.

Toys for Tots, a national charity program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, collects and distributes toys to less fortunate children across the country during the traditional Christmas season.
New and unwrapped toys will be accepted at the following locations through Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve):
- Prince William County fire stations
- City of Manassas Park fire stations
- City of Manassas fire stations
- Prince William County Public Safety Training Center (Nokesville)
- McCoart Government Center (Woodbridge)
All toys that are collected will be delivered to the Toys for Tots collection site for processing and delivery to organizations who have already requested toys. Fire stations cannot deliver toys directly to local residents.
Clothes and used toys cannot be accepted, but can be donated to churches and shelters in the community.
The program was started in 1947 in California by Maj. William L. Hendricks, who was inspired by his wife’s efforts to donate a doll to a child in need, but couldn’t find an organization to do so. Maj. Hendricks gathered his fellow Marine reservists to coordinate and collect toys for children.
Hendricks asked for the help of his friend, Walt Disney, to design a poster for the national campaign; the same logo has remained to this day.
“Toys for Tots is a national charity program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. Toys are collected and distributed to less fortunate children whose parents may be struggling financially and unable to purchase gifts during the traditional Christmas Holiday Season.”
“Please drop off your new and unwrapped toy at any Prince William County, City of Manassas Park or Manassas City fire station, Prince William County Public Safety Training Center in Nokesville as well as the lobby at the McCoart Government Center in Woodbridge.”
The Nokesville Training Center can be located at 13101 Public Safety Drive, Nokesville, and the lobby is at 1 County Complex Court, Woodbridge.
“Clothes and used toys cannot be accepted. Please consider donating used toys and clothing to churches and shelters in your neighborhood.”
“All toys will be delivered to the Toys for Tots collection site for processing and delivery to pre-authorized organizations who have requested toys. Fire stations are not permitted to deliver toys directly to citizens.”
Quantico Marine Corps Base: “Virginia Toys for Tots representatives recently launched an initiative to identify local Marine volunteers to help collect and sort toys for underprivileged children this holiday season.”
“With the organization’s headquarters located right outside Quantico’s front door in Triangle, Virginia, the Toys for Tots program is dedicated to making sure every child has a present to open Christmas morning.”
“The initiative coincides with the Marine Corps Reserve continuing its holiday tradition for the 86th year.”
