For over 15 years, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserved and the Santa Clara Toys for Tots organization for a holiday toy drive. The goal is to “Stuff the Bus” with new, unwrapped toys for Santa Clara County’s less fortunate children, according to a press release from VTA.
Each year, the “Stuff the Bus” campaign relies on the community’s generosity and support, according to VTA staff. In each of the last two years, VTA and the Marines have collected an average of 5,000 toys and $600 in cash.
To participate in the toy drive, bring a new, unwrapped toy or a monetary donation to the specially-wrapped VTA bus parked on Market Street in downtown San Jose (near the Fairmont Hotel and Christmas in the Park) on Saturday, Dec. 13 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
