VALDOSTA — Freeway Insurance, a division of Confie, the nation’s largest personal lines insurance distribution company, is kicking off its annual Toys for Tots drive with toy drop offs scheduled at approximately 200 franchise locations nationwide.
The Freeway Insurance locations at 2910 N. Ashley Street, Suite A, Valdosta, and 1107 Knight Ave, Waycross, will accept donations of new, unwrapped toys from Nov. 4 – Dec. 13. CEO Cesar Soriano said this marks the eighth year Freeway Insurance has served as a Five Star Corporate Sponsor of the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation.
“Over the years, we have collected and donated more than 20,000 toys to bring joy and happiness to children and their families during the holiday season,” said Cesar Soriano, CEO of Freeway Insurance. “Toys for Tots makes a real difference in the lives of children across the nation, and we are honored to support their mission.”
Today, Toys for Tots is widely recognized as one of the nation’s most cherished charitable organizations serving children in underserved communities, having distributed nearly 700 million toys to children since its founding. In addition to holiday toy drives, Toys for Tots also operates a year-round Literacy Program, providing age-appropriate books to children in low-income areas to support their education and development.
“We are very pleased to welcome Freeway Insurance back as a National Corporate Sponsor of the Marine Toys for Tots Campaign,” said retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, vice president of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “We are working hard to deliver joy and hope to over 10 million children this year, and with the generous support of Freeway, we will be able to fulfill holiday dreams for thousands of less fortunate children who might otherwise have been forgotten.”
“As a sponsor, we are dedicated to helping Toys for Tots break the cycle of poverty and spread joy to children everywhere,” Soriano said. “This toy drive means so much to children who might otherwise be forgotten.”
“We’re hoping to collect more toys than ever this year,” added Soriano. “We’re asking communities to be generous and donate toys at one of our many locations. Nothing compares to bringing joy to children and families during the holiday season.”
