Lockaway Storage's Holiday Toy Drive: Spreading Joy to Children in Texarkana

Lockaway Storage Partners with Toys for Tots for Holiday Toy Drive

In the spirit of giving and community support, Lockaway Storage has made a significant impact in Texarkana through its partnership with Toys for Tots and the United States Marine Corps. This collaboration, which took place from October 1st to December 12th, 2025, focused on collecting new, unwrapped toys for underprivileged children in the Texarkana area. The goal was clear: to make sure that every child experiences the joy of receiving gifts during the holiday season.

The Origin of the Partnership

This meaningful initiative was initiated by a tenant of Lockaway Storage, who had close ties with the Marine Corps and reached out to the Texarkana branch for assistance in enhancing this year’s Toys for Tots drive. Understanding the importance of community support, Lockaway Storage promptly agreed to lend its resources to the cause, demonstrating the immense positive influence local businesses can have in uniting communities for a common goal.

How the Toy Drive Worked

Donation boxes were strategically placed at Lockaway Storage locations around Texarkana, encouraging local residents to contribute to this worthy cause. People from all walks of life came together, generously donating toys for children of various age groups. This was not just a simple act of giving; it was a reflection of the community's commitment to ensuring that no child is left without a gift during the festive season.

The toys collected were then distributed through Toys for Tots, targeting local families and ensuring that the magic of Christmas touched those who might have otherwise gone without. Each contribution helped create a brighter holiday season for countless children, reinforcing the belief that every child deserves presents and happiness during this special time of year.

Community Support and Spirit

Susan Hovey, the Director of Marketing for Lockaway Storage, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the extensive support from both tenants and the wider Texarkana community. "We were incredibly grateful for the support from our tenants and the Texarkana community," she said. "Seeing everyone come together for this cause truly reflected the spirit of the season, and we're honored to have played a role in making the holidays brighter for so many children."

This initiative not only showcased the spirit of giving but also highlighted how local businesses can significantly impact the neighborhoods they serve. The partnership between Lockaway Storage and Toys for Tots is a shining example of how collaborative efforts can produce substantial benefits for those in need.

Conclusion

As the toy drive concluded, Lockaway Storage expressed its appreciation to everyone who participated, showing that together, they were able to support the Marines and Toys for Tots in their vital mission to spread holiday joy throughout Texarkana.
