Welcome to the EMELCI Holiday Toy Drive fundraiser page! We are proud to support the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation (National Office) in their vital mission to bring the joy of Christmas to children in need. By providing new toys, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation assists the U.S. Marine Corps in delivering a tangible sign of hope to economically disadvantaged children during the holiday season. Their work unites communities across the nation in a shared effort, fostering a brighter future for all.

As a former Marine with 21 years of service, I've developed a strong commitment to giving back and supporting those in need. Sitting back and watching others struggle has never been an option for me, and it's this drive that fuels my passion for organizing fundraisers like the EMELCI Holiday Toy Drive. Service is ingrained in who I am, and through my business, EMELCI Coffee Co., I strive to do more than just sell coffee—I aim to make a meaningful difference in the community.

Being a father myself, I understand the profound impact a special gift can have on a child's holiday experience. My goal with this toy drive is to ensure that more children experience the joy and excitement of the season. If I can help bring happiness to just a few families, it makes the effort truly worthwhile.

Ultimately, fundraisers like the EMELCI Holiday Toy Drive ground me and allow me to continue serving my community, albeit in a different capacity. They offer a chance to extend hope and support to those who need it most, and participating in this cause feels right to me. Thank you for considering joining us in this endeavor to spread kindness and joy this holiday season. Together, we can create lasting memories for children and families in need.
