This November, Car-Mart in Cabot is turning into a community hub of holiday spirit with the return of its 16th annual Holiday Toy Drive, an event dedicated to making the season brighter for children in need. Since 2009, America’s Car-Mart has been a beacon of hope for families during the holidays, and this year, the Cabot dealership invites everyone to join the cause and make a difference.
From now through Nov. 30, Car-Mart of Cabot, located at 177 Arena Rd., is welcoming locals to drop off new, unwrapped toys at their dealership Monday- Saturday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. As a “Toy Donation Destination,” Car-Mart is open to anyone who wants to contribute to the drive, regardless of whether they’re a Car-Mart customer. It’s an open invitation to all Cabot residents to give back to the community, one toy at a time.
Car-Mart’s unique “Give More, Get More” initiative offers a special reward for those purchasing a vehicle during the toy drive. Customers who bring in a new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 or more will receive $50 as a thank-you reward when they purchase a vehicle. This incentive aligns with Car-Mart’s mission to not only serve its customers but also to be a positive force in the community.
What started as a single toy drive at a Car-Mart location in Claremore, OK, has now become a cherished tradition across Car-Mart dealerships in multiple states. Over the years, Car-Mart associates, customers, and partners have helped bring joy to thousands of children. Each year, the company continues to expand its reach, striving to make a larger impact with each holiday season.
The collected toys will be distributed to children’s hospitals and organizations that serve children in the local Cabot area, ensuring that every donation directly benefits families within the community. Car-Mart associates will personally deliver the toys in December, sharing the holiday spirit with young patients and children who might not otherwise experience the magic of the season.
Participating in Car-Mart’s Toy Drive is easy. Simply bring a new, unwrapped toy and drop it off at Car-Mart in Cabot. There’s no purchase required to contribute, so anyone in the community can join in. For those purchasing a vehicle, the “Give More, Get More” offer adds an extra incentive of $50 to support the cause.
This event isn’t just a toy drive; it’s a community-wide effort to bring smiles to local children’s faces. By donating, Cabot residents have a chance to be part of something bigger – a collective movement that embodies the holiday spirit of generosity and compassion.
