How to fill a seven-ton truck

Employees of Affinion Loyalty Group (ALG) participated in a company-sponsored shopping spree at Toys“R”Us Richmond West to make Christmas a little brighter for local children. All toys purchased were donated to marines on-site for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

“It took 939 toys, 22 packages of assorted batteries, the help of three Marines, 76 ALG employees and one and a half hours to fill a seven-ton truck,” Marti Beller, president of ALG, said. “I am overwhelmed with appreciation for everyone who helped make this event possible and proud to know that the toys purchased will be given as holiday gifts to children in our community.”

According to GySgt. Russell Sayles, the organization has had an especially hard time this year collecting toys, and the support from ALG was more than expected and extremely appreciated.

Employees at ALG are regularly involved with community activities. In addition, the company has a long-standing corporate relationship with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Virginia. Since 2005, ALG and its employees have donated more than $65,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
