Community Relations
The UPS Store network works with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to provide books to less fortunate children through the Toys for Tots Literacy Program. Many The UPS Store franchise locations take an active role in the local communities through these programs.
Launched in March 2008, the Toys for Tots Literacy Program is the first year-round initiative of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. This program offers the nation’s most economically disadvantaged children the ability to compete academically and succeed in life by providing them direct access to books and educational resources. The UPS Store franchise locations raise money throughout the year through a variety of activities. One hundred percent of all proceeds raised support local children and literacy programs. According to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, more than $1.7 million has been contributed to the program since its inception.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or relations:
“... no community where more than one-half of the adults are disfranchised and otherwise incapacitated by law and custom, can be free from great vices. Purity is inconsistent with slavery.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
