OFT Toy Drive
Our annual OFT Toy Drive in support of the Oceanside Community Service took place in spite of COVID. OFT members were extra generous in their donations to our annual OFT Toy Drive/Oceanside Community Service this year. They contributed $3650 in Kohl's cars and $1000 in Stop & Shop gift cards for a total of $4650 in OFT member donations. That's about $1000 more than we usually contribute. Part of that donation is due to our affiliate members forgoing and donating the cost of OFT SRP recognition day celebration cookies to our drive. This is a gesture that has been made by affiliates for many years now to show their support for our community.
Leo Bonacasa, of OCS, was very appreciative of our donations and our support of their efforts to help those less fortunate in our community. Our support of OCS makes a statement that the OFT is part of the Oceanside Community and that we care, especially in these difficult times.
