Valley Credit Union Surpasses Expectations at Fifth Annual Toys for Tots Drive

Billings, MT–December 16, 2021—Valley Credit Union (Valley) recently hosted their fifth annual holiday toy drive benefiting the US Marine Corps Reserve’s annual Toys for Tots program. Each year the program distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy gifts.

Through the credit union’s efforts and support from the community, they were able to surpass Valley’s initial goal of receiving 450 toys. Throughout the drive, 483 toys were collected in addition to over $3,300 fundraised by the credit union. These funds will go towards the purchasing of additional gifts to ensure more families throughout the community have gifts under the tree this Christmas.

"We want to thank all those who took the time to participate in our annual toy drive this holiday season,” said Joe Olivo, Vice President of Member Experience at Valley Credit Union. “We are grateful for the opportunity to put our credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People’ to action to give back and make the holidays a little brighter for Billings families. With the support of so many, we were able to surpass our goal and ensure that more children will have a special Christmas morning this year.”
