Long & Foster’s Severna Park Office Designated as a Toys for Tots Collection Site

November 22, 2021

The Severna Park office of Long & Foster Real Estate, the nation’s No. 1 real estate company as part of HomeServices of America, will support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in its Toys for Tots campaign this year. New, unwrapped toys may be dropped off at the Severna Park office, located at 541-B Baltimore Annapolis Blvd., Severna Park, Maryland, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  All donations must be made before December 24, 2021.

“We’re excited to once again take part in Toys for Tots—a fun and important cause—and provide our neighbors a convenient location to drop off donations,” said Tina Cadden Jenkins, sales manager of the Severna Park office. “It’s great to know that by collecting toys throughout the holiday season, we can help make sure children in our area who are less fortunate have a more cheerful holiday.”

Long & Foster offices throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast are participating in the Toys for Tots donation drive. This year marks the company’s 31st year participating in the holiday collection campaign. Between now and mid-December, each of Long & Foster’s more than 200 offices throughout seven states and Washington, D.C., will accept toy or monetary donations. Long & Foster employees at the company’s home office in Chantilly, Virginia, will also participate in the annual holiday campaign by contributing funds for the Toys for Tots Foundation to purchase toys and distribute where needed.

“Giving back to the many communities in which we live and work is important to our Long & Foster family, which is why we’ve been participating in the Toys for Tots drive for more than 30 years,” said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and CEO of The Long & Foster Companies. “The U.S. Marines have built a tremendous program with Toys for Tots, and our employees, agents and their clients appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to support them.”

Once the toys are collected and presented to the U.S. Marines, they are distributed through churches and social welfare agencies to children in need throughout the community. Started by the U.S. Marines in 1947, the Toys for Tots annual toy drive that now reaches throughout 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Toys for Tots has distributed millions of toys to millions of children over the years, and Long & Foster contributes to this effort each year.
