Fort Worth, Texas – January 22, 2019:  Conner Industries Inc. was pleased to help the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve by building and donating custom wooden crates to store donations for their annual Toys for Tots toy drive in the Fort Worth area. The crates were built in Conner’s Haslet, Texas manufacturing facility and delivered to the local Toys for Tots coordinator, SSgt Jason Smith, on January 15, 2019. This latest charitable contribution is just one of several in the last year, thanks to the relatively new Conner Cares initiative adopted by the company.

“Toys for Tots is a worthwhile cause that brightens the holidays for children throughout America,” says David Dixon, CEO of Conner Industries. “This is one more example of how Conner and our dedicated employees work to serve our local communities.”

The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community. The donated crates will be used to store donations for the coming year.

“It was a pleasure to design and build these crates for such a good cause,” says Edgar Aviles, Production Manager at Conner Industries’ Haslet Plant. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to help ensure that children in need will get toys that put a smile on their faces.”
