Toys For Tots 2021: Bring Gifts To Arlington Verizon

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."

Last year, the Wireless Zone system contributed more than 19,000 toys to less fortunate children nationwide and has a goal of 30,000 toys in 2021.

As the brand gears up for a busy holiday shopping season, it has implemented a number of new procedures to ensure the safety of its customers, including curbside pickup, Retail Direct Ship (which allows customers to get product support and place orders over the phone), contactless payment options and more.

"2021 has certainly been a year of challenges and adjustments, and many families are
anticipating a very different holiday season," said Dave Staszewski, executive vice president of
Wireless Zone. "At Wireless Zone, giving back to the local communities is in our DNA, but it's
more important this year than ever to help take care of families in the communities we serve."
