Announcing EOP's 2nd Annual "Pay It Forward" Initiative


This year EOP has selected the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots Program. “The mission of the program is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community. The program is a national effort administered locally; in whatever community the toys are collected is the community in which they will be distributed. “("https://www.toysfortotsrochester.org").

The event starts this week and will continue until Dec 7th.  We are now accepting toys and monetary donations at the EOP office Brighton campus, room 3-101 and the Damon City Campus 5th floor.

 **The Toys For Tots program does not allow these toys:   Toys with a military theme, toys related to weapons/law enforcement type toys, toys with candy, no chemicals (i.e. experimental labs, acid, crystal projects, etc.) or used toys.  

In support of EOP’s participation in the Toys For Tots campaign there will be a U.S. Marine Reserve representative receiving donations on the: DCC campus: Wed. Nov 14th, 4th Floor Atrium, 12-2 pm and  Brighton campus: Mon. Nov 19th, Campus Center Atrium, 11-2pm. This will be an opportunity for you to donate if you haven’t had the chance to yet or would like to donate again.

Remember to always “Pay It Forward” in acts of kindness and generosity……..

Please give to our children this Christmas.
