Rabobank branches across Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties are serving as Toys for Tots collection centers for the third consecutive holiday season.
Community members can donate new, unwrapped toys at drop boxes through December 14. Toys for Tots volunteers will distribute the toys locally.
Parents and legal guardians can request toys on behalf of their children through the Toy for Tots’ Request a Toy application here.
Rabobank is also introducing a Letters to Santa program. The bank is paying for first-class postage for delivery to the North Pole for all letters dropped off at local branches on or before December 7. If parents or legal guardians include a return address with the writer’s name, the child will receive a response from the North Pole.
“By expanding our holiday program, we help ensure that every child in the communities we serve experiences some holiday magic,” said Julie Castle, president and chief banking officer of Rabobank, N.A. “Our employees are proud to give ‘Team Santa’ a hand by supporting Toys for Tots’ generous mission and ensuring that kids’ carefully written letters arrive at Santa’s workshop on time.”
