For the third consecutive year, we have teamed up with the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program to help provide brand new toys to underprivileged kids on the Central Coast. The Toys for Tots program has been around for over 70 years and has helped provide half a billion toys to needy kids across the United States. What started as a simple mission to gift a toy to a child in need has transformed into an annual cultural phenomenon.What started as a simple mission to gift a toy to a child in need has transformed into an annual cultural phenomenon.

Their mission is one that closely aligns with the community engagement goals of The Roots, so we are honored to partner up together for yet another year of service. Many of us at The Roots know what its like to experience a Christmas without gifts. The coronavirus pandemic has made it especially hard on some families to be able to provide their children the proper holiday experience they need, so we wanted to step up and use our platform for good.

From now until the second week of December, come in to The Roots and drop off new, unwrapped toys at our front desk. Your budtender can give you a little gift for your generosity!
