For the third consecutive year, Total Office Solutions, LLP, an Irving-based strategic turnkey partner in logistics and corporate relocation services, is sponsoring the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's 2026 Arlington-Dallas Toys for Tots campaign. The firm will provide transportation, logistics, material support, and more than 25,000 square feet of dedicated warehouse space to collect, store, and distribute donated toys. This contribution is critical as the campaign seeks to serve children in need across North Texas during a time of heightened economic pressure on families.
The 2026 Arlington-Dallas Toys for Tots campaign officially began on Oct. 15 at the city's Levitt Pavilion, where longtime coordinator Watson Robinson, Jr. shared details about upcoming events. Donations of new, unwrapped toys for children up to age 12 can be dropped off at the Total Office Solutions showroom at 2201 Chemsearch Blvd., Irving, TX, 75062, or at any of the 7,500 drop box locations throughout North Texas. A complete list of participating businesses and drop-off locations is available at this link. The campaign's success depends on community support, and Total Office Solutions is leveraging its resources to ensure toys reach those who need them most.
Megan Monette-McDaniel, vice-president of global accounts at Move Solutions, Ltd., an entity of Total Office Solutions, emphasized the importance of the effort: "With families in our communities struggling with increased costs and tighter household budgets, it's more important than ever to ensure every child in North Texas has toys to unwrap this holiday season." Her statement underscores the growing need for assistance as inflation and economic challenges strain household finances. The campaign not only brings joy to children but also alleviates some of the financial burden on parents during the holidays.
In addition to the campaign kickoff, Total Office Solutions will participate in the Arlington Veterans Day Parade on Wednesday, Nov. 11, in the Arlington Entertainment District. The company's office-moving division, Move Solutions, Ltd., will feature two specially wrapped Toys for Tots-themed office moving trucks in the parade, which will also serve as collection points for unwrapped toy donations. The parade starts at 5:30 p.m., offering a visible reminder of the campaign's mission and an opportunity for attendees to contribute. This integration of community events with donation drives amplifies the campaign's reach and encourages broader participation.
Watson Robinson, Jr., who has coordinated the campaign for years, expressed gratitude for the sponsors: "Without their generous assistance, we couldn't make these Christmas miracles happen." He noted that his 28 years of service in the U.S. Marines taught him the value of serving others, and he remains hopeful that North Texas residents will donate enough gifts for all families in need. The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program, founded in 1947, collects new, unwrapped toys from October to December and distributes them as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children nationwide.
