Mantua, OH - T.J. Davies Company, Inc recently held their first Toys For Tots toy drive, and collected hundreds of toys, books, and other gifts for local children in need. The industry leading manufacturer of retention knobs began collecting items in early November; the campaign was so successful that two pickups were conducted. In addition to items donated by the companies' employees, vendors, and customers, there were many donations from people who saw the banner outside the Mantua, OH factory.
Both Christmas and the military have a special place in the heart of TJ Davies' President Sherry Davies, whose father was a veteran. "Every child should have a present to open at Christmas, so we decided to engage with the Toys For Tots program," said Davies. "I am amazed by peoples' generosity. It didn't take long for our conference room to be overtaken with gifts that were soon spilling over into other areas of the office!"
Davies promoted the program and their collection through their various social media channels, as well as with a banner hanging outside the factory, attracting the interest of folks passing by on heavily travelled State Route 44.
Even though the final pickup just occurred, Davies is already planning next year's campaign. She plans to start collecting gifts when the toy drive officially kicks off, which is October 1, and to promote the earlier and with more signage.
This Toys For Tots toy drive is just one example of the civic minded nature of the company. Earlier in the year they also sponsored the Emerging Engineer Camp hosted by the Kent State University College of Aeronautics and Engineering, providing students interested in Engineering with a firsthand look at the industry, as well as many local philanthropic events and activities.
T.J. Davies Company, Inc specializes in the manufacturing of retention knobs (pull studs) for direct sale and distribution. They are a veteran-founded, woman-led business dedicated to high-quality, American-made products that help customers compete in the global marketplace.
