ERA Justin Realty Collects Toys for Tots

ERA Justin Realty is once again partnering with Toys for Tots to collect gifts for children in need this holiday season. 

The campaign kicks off on Thursday, November 10th and continues through Friday December 2nd, which is the final day for drop off at ERA Justin’s new location at 46 Chestnut Street in Rutherford.

“Toys for Tots helps give children in need the magic of the holidays,” said Jennifer Darby Metzger, Broker/Owner of ERA Justin Realty. “We’re so happy to participate in this terrific program for the fourth year in a row.” 

Toys for Tots is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The organization marked the milestone with a new commemorative logo.  The designer of the chosen logo, which is seen on all of this year’s collection boxes, is ERA Central Realty Group’s in-house graphic artist, Suzi Kelly.

“It’s an honor to represent the Toys for Tots program. My daughter is a Marine and Toys for Tots has been an important effort for our family and ERA for many years,” said Kelly, “Incidentally, Walt Disney designed the iconic Toys for Tots logo, so my work is in excellent company.”

Established in 1947, Toys for Tots is the U.S. Marine Corps’ premiere community charity program. The non-profit has hundreds of local toy collection and distribution programs in all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C., Guam, The Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This past year, Toys for Tots distributed 19 million toys to more than 7 million children in need.

Unwrapped gifts can be dropped off at ERA Justin’s office at 46 Chestnut Street in Rutherford. A drop-off box will be available near the front desk. 

If you shop online, you can also help ERA’s Toys for Tots drive by purchasing toys through AmazonSmile.com and choosing Toys for Tots as the designated charity. A small portion of each purchase will be donated on behalf of Amazon directly to Toys for Tots at no additional cost. All purchases should be shipped to 46 Chestnut Street, Rutherford, NJ 07070. Please shop early to ensure that all purchases are delivered to this location by December 2nd. 

The entire team at ERA Justin Realty is thankful for your support and generosity this holiday season!
