At Stone Martin Builders, we believe in building more than homes. We strive to build communities and bring joy to every family, especially during the holiday season. This year, we are proud to participate in the 76th annual Toys for Tots, a partnership with the United States Marine Corps Reserve, to deliver a message of hope and the joy of Christmas to less fortunate children across Alabama.
Each donated toy represents our promise to the community - to create cherished holiday memories for children and foster a spirit of giving and togetherness. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joins us in this cause, helping spread the joy of Christmas and making a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
"As a leading home builder, our role extends beyond constructing houses. We are committed to nurturing the communities we serve," says John Manasco, COO of Stone Martin Builders. "Our ongoing involvement with Toys for Tots is a testament to our dedication to community engagement. We aim to create moments of happiness for children who might otherwise miss out on the joys of the holiday season.”
From November 20 to December 7, we are collecting new, unwrapped toys at all our model homes. These toys will be transported to our central warehouse in Opelika, AL, by December 7.
We have designated 20 model home locations across various communities as official toy drop-off sites. These sites will be open for donations from Tuesday to Sunday, between 12 pm and 5 pm. Local volunteers will play a crucial role in picking up and delivering these gifts to children in need in multiple Alabama communities, including Opelika, Auburn, Dothan, Enterprise, Montgomery, Wetumpka, Prattville, Pike Road, Huntsville, Athens, Meridianville, and Columbus, Georgia.
Our goal is to contribute significantly to Toys for Tots' mission of distributing 18 million toys to 7 million children annually, creating lasting positive memories.
Our commitment to positive community impact goes beyond the holiday season. Our journey, while marked by national recognition, is fundamentally anchored in our local communities. As community members, neighbors, and friends, our heart and efforts are devoted to the well-being of the places we call home. This deep-rooted connection drives us to make meaningful contributions that go beyond the world of construction.
Our engagement in community service is diverse and impactful. We have proudly supported initiatives like Habitat for Humanity, contributing to building homes for those in need. Additionally, our involvement with Storybook Farms has allowed us to enrich the lives of our community members in unique and lasting ways.
We invite you to be a part of this heartwarming journey. By participating in the toy drive, you’re giving a child a memory that will last a lifetime. Visit our model homes to drop off your donations, and help us bring the magic of the holiday season to every child in need.
