ARLINGTON, MA — Wireless Zone in Arlington is once again partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve to host its annual Toys for Tots collection.
Donors can drop off new, unwrapped toys at Wireless Zone, a Verizon authorized retailer, at 457 Massachusetts Avenue. The campaign will run until Dec. 10.
"We couldn't be more excited to partner with Toys for Tots this year. It's always important to give back, but it definitely has new meaning this year," Wireless Zone owner Prapti Gupta said. "Families have been hit hard with the pandemic and many have lost jobs, so this is the perfect opportunity to support kids in our community. We're looking forward to providing the area with a safe and meaningful way to support those in need this holiday season."
