With the holiday season upon us, Grounded Electrical Construction was proud to support Anne Arundel County Toys for Tots for the second year in a row. Grounded Electrical Construction did a fantastic job filling two boxes to the brim with employee toy donations. The toys were picked up and taken to the Anne Arundel County donation warehouse, where they will be organized and distributed in in time for Christmas.

Founded in 1947, The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has been successful in bringing thousands of smiles to underprivileged children each year. Their sole mission is to ensure less fortunate children have the chance to experience the same joys of the holiday season that millions of Americans take for granted each year.
