G&J Pepsi is once again partnering in the 2025 Columbus Toys for Tots campaign, a beloved annual tradition that helps brighten the holidays for children in need across Central Ohio. Founded in 1947 by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Toys for Tots has grown into a nationwide program delivering millions of toys each year, spreading hope and joy to families.
This year, the local drive, led by U.S. Marines and volunteers, aims to collect 120,000 toys. Volunteering for Toys for Tots is a favorite holiday activity for G&J Pepsi employees, who enjoy hands-on ways to make a difference in their community.
“Christmas should be a time of joy,” said a Salvation Army representative, highlighting the importance of every child feeling loved during the holidays. G&J Pepsi joins other local supporters, including KEMBA Financial Credit Union and Rock City Church, in helping ensure every child receives a gift to brighten their season.
