For the second consecutive year, CyrusOne's Sterling, VA campus employees are excited to support the Loudoun County Toys for Tots campaign through donations and volunteering.
CyrusOne donates 10,000 square feet of unused space at our Northern Virginia 5 facility for collection, storage, and distribution for the toy drive. This helps about 300 volunteers and Loudoun County Toys for Tots staffers receive, sort and hand out thousands of gifts to the area's needy children during the holiday season.
"We coordinate with the Loudoun Marine Corp League Detachment 1205 and its coordinators to use our space for toy storage, process/sorting, and pick up for this holiday season," said Robert Smith, CyrusOne senior director of regional operations. "We look forward to doing this every year. We appreciate CyrusOne team members Dave Johnson, John Cable, and Jason Frye for leading efforts to coordinate."
Since 1947, the Marine Toys for Tots Program has collected new unwrapped toys and distributed them to less fortunate children to help bring a message of joy and hope to them during the holidays. The Loudoun County Toys for Tots campaign distributed more than 14,362 toys to 9,262 children in 2022 and looks to surpass those numbers in 2023.
In early December, the organization began setting up at the Sterling campus, laying down pallets for the toys to later be sorted and bagged according to children's ages. Volunteers welcomed area fire trucks, fire station workers, and EMTs, who dropped off the toys they collected for the annual program.
