Bellingham, Wash.-based Birch Equipment Rental & Sales last week announced it will support the U.S. Marine Corp’s Toys for Tots program for the 12^th year. From now through Dec. 18, Bellingham area residents are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys for children ages 2 to 12 to any Birch location. Customers running short on time can easily donate by purchasing from Birch’s wide selection of construction-themed toys, children’s art supplies and more.

“Over the past eleven years, Birch has collected over 2,000 toys for local children,” said Cara Buckingham, information director. “We know it’s been a tough time for many more people than ever before and appreciate anything that they can do to help the neediest in our community have a better holiday.”

Birch recently added a selection of items from toymaker, Green Toys. The company makes its products out of recycled plastic milk jugs and uses recyclable packaging. The Green Toys Recycling Truck was recently featured on Live! with Regis and Kelly as one of the Top 10 Toys heading into the holidays.
