With 2020 presenting some challenging times because of COVID-19, and with COVID-19 safety
\nprotocols in place, it was decided for precautions that the 2020 Toys for Tots season that only
\nfire stations in PWC, City of Manassas, and Manassas Park would receive toys from the
\ncommunities.<\/p>\n

So we wanted to take a moment, along with Chief Orefice, Lieutenant Kieb, and the USMC Toys
\nfor Tots organization, to thank everyone for all your help, hard work, and commitment
\nbecause we were still able to collect and deliver approximately 11,540 toys to families in Prince
\nWilliam County and the surrounding regions so that they could experience the joy of the
\nChristmas Holiday Season.<\/p>\n

Also, this year it was decided to start a new tradition with the Quantico Toys for Tots Campaign
\nhere in the county with the \u201cSanta\u2019s Biggest Helper\u2019s\u201d award. Every year, the fire station that
\ncollects the most toys for that season, will get to keep the \u201cSanta\u2019s Biggest Helper\u2019s\u201d trophy at
\ntheir station with bragging rights until the following season. The station with the second-most
\ntoys collected will receive a Toys for Tots painted sign to place in the front of their station each
\nseason (unless the station already has one, then it goes to the next station with the most toys
\ncollected.(see attached pics)<\/p>\n

So with that, the 2020 Quantico Toys for Tots Campaign fire station that had collected the most
\ntoys goes to Station 25 (Nokesville Vol Fire Dept.) with 1,980 toys collected! Fire Station 4
\nGainesville was not too far behind with 1,660 toys collected (watch out next year, station 25!).
\nBut since they already have a nice Toys for Tots sign to display, Fire Station 15, who came in
\nthird place with 810 toys collected won the new Toys for Tots signage to display in the front of
\ntheir station for next season. And once again, thank you to everyone for all your help with this
\nwonderful, giving campaign during the Christmas and holiday season that we host here in the
\nCounty and have a Happy, Healthy, and Safe New Year!<\/p>\n
