Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Cerritos (FAC3) and Cerritos Sheriff's Station Join Forces for Holiday Toy Drive Benefiting Military Families at Camp Pendleton

In the spirit of giving, the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Cerritos (FAC3) has teamed up with the LA County Sheriff's Department - Cerritos Sheriff's Station to launch their annual Holiday Toy Drive. This year, the collaborative effort aims to bring joy to the children of military families stationed at Camp Pendleton.

Making the Season Brighter for Military Kids

Recognizing the sacrifices made by these families in service to our country, FAC3 is on a mission to make this holiday season unforgettable for the children of Camp Pendleton. The organization is calling on the local community to contribute to the cause by donating new, unwrapped toys.

Convenient Drop-Off Locations

To facilitate contributions, FAC3 has established two convenient drop-off locations with the help of the generous partners.

Located in the heart of Cerritos' dining and retail center, the first drop-off point is the local favorite Gerry's Grill in Cerritos, CA. Gerry's Grill is not only a beloved local restaurant offering delicious Filipino food but also a hub for entertainment. Recognizing its status as a local favorite, the restaurant has generously provided designated collection bins for toy donations, making it even more convenient for patrons to contribute to the FAC3 Holiday Toy Drive.

Additionally, Teofilo Coffee in Los Alamitos is adding a sweet incentive for donors. Known for the superiority of their coffee beans, Teofilo Coffee sources its products from the Philippines, supporting Filipino farmers. Bring a toy to Teofilo Coffee, and enjoy a complimentary cup of their exceptional coffee as a gesture of appreciation.

Generosity in Action

The FAC3 Holiday Toy Drive is already underway and will continue until December 11, 2023. The organization encourages everyone to spread the word and make a positive impact on the lives of these military families. Donors can share their contributions on social media using the hashtag #FAC3ToyDrive.

Expressing Gratitude

FAC3 extends its heartfelt thanks to all contributors, emphasizing the significant impact each donation will have on bringing joy to the deserving children of Camp Pendleton. The organization looks forward to the community coming together to make this holiday season brighter for those who have given so much.

Drop off your unwrapped toys by December 11th. For more details or to coordinate your donation, please contact us:
