CLEARWATER, Fla., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PODS Enterprises, LLC announced today that it will once again be supporting the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation during the upcoming 2018 holiday season. This will be the ninth year PODS has partnered with the respected not-for-profit charity to assist in its yearly national toy drives by donating portable storage containers to collect, store and move toys.

Over the past eight years, PODS has supported Toys for Tots in advancing its mission by providing operational and logistical support to the program, helping to provide happiness and hope to disadvantaged children during the holiday season. PODS has become a valued partner for the charity, providing more than $167,000 worth of services and donating 177 containers in 2017.

"Finding a present under the tree Christmas morning is an experience every child deserves," said retired Marine Colonel, Ted Silvester, Vice President of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. "We are fortunate to have a partner like PODS, whose donated services and collection of toys allows us to deliver the magic of the holidays to thousands more children in need by purchasing toys instead of spending donated dollars to store and move toys."

Now in its 71^st year, the Marine Toys for Tots Program has impacted the lives of millions of children by providing more than 548 million toys to kids across America.

"We are incredibly thankful to be able to help the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation in their mission to make the holiday season happier for children in need," said PODS' SVP, Residential Marketing, David Redmond. "Giving back is a crucial part of our company culture, and it is a privilege to be able to work with and support such a high-impact organization that is truly making a difference in the lives of so many children."
