Callens Insurance Group’s ongoing community program in Tyler, TX is supporting the local chapter of Toys for Tots for the next 60 days.

Toys for Tots has supplied toys and books to more than 7 million children across the country since its inception in 1995. The charity works to unite communities through toy collection and distribution campaigns.

“Too many of our children have never experienced a joyful Christmas,” said agency owner Jeff Callens. “We feel privileged to do anything we can to help change that. We will be accepting toy donations at our offices, and hope to rally community support with monetary donations, as well.”

Using its own network of personal and professional contacts, Callens Insurance hopes that its efforts will bring the charity into the public’s attention. It has set a fundraising goal of $500, and hopes that toy collection boxes in its offices will be filled as well.

The Toys for Tots campaign will be promoted over the next 60 days through Callens Insurance’s social media channels, email, and text messages, as well as the agency’s own magazine, which it delivers to thousands of households in the local area.

A new campaign will be launched after this one concludes in 60 days.
