2010 has been another rough economic year for the Portland area, and many families with children are now struggling. More than 35,000 local children are in need of toys this holiday season. Toys for Tots is partnering with local companies, including Synopsys and Intel, to help meet this need. The goal of the toy drop-off event is to boost the low inventory of toy donations Toys for Tots has received so far this year so that no child is left without a new toy.
Synopsys is also serving as a community drop-off location for Toys for Tots donations during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm) through Thursday, December 16th. The donation box for new, unwrapped toys is located in the lobby of the Synopsys building.
