The United States Marine Corps will use the donation to purchase thousands of toys. These toys will be distributed to community-based organizations in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, and these organizations will donate the toys to local children and families who are in need of a helping hand this holiday season.
"The Stater Bros. 'Family' believes in giving back to the communities we serve," said Jack H. Brown, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Stater Bros. Markets. "We are very proud to help make the Holiday wishes of so many children come true this year by supporting the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program."
This generous donation was made possible through a partnership between Stater Bros. Charities, Stater Bros. Markets, and the manufacturers of Stater Bros. brand products. Stater Bros.' customers support the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program every time they purchase a Stater Bros. brand product.
