Why is Albertsons involved with Toys for Tots?
Albertsons is committed to the development of our youth. As an extension of that commitment, Albertsons stores in Utah and Rock Springs, Wyoming partnered with the U.S. Marines to make sure no child goes without a special gift under the tree. Statement from Craig Peterson, Albertsons Intermountain Division Advertising Director: “I can’t imagine the disappointment a child would experience to wake up Christmas morning to find not one special present. It would be a tremendous blow to their self-esteem.” Albertsons is grateful for the U.S. Marines’ dedication to this program, which is now 55 years old. This program provides an additional avenue that we, as Americans, can show our solidarity and support for our military while supporting those who are less fortunate in our communities. With Albertsons partnership, there is a large amount of media exposure for Toys for Tots in the local community and the whole state of Utah will benefit.
