Toys for Tots 2017

12/18/2017

Once again the Veterans Community Center (this Veterans Golf Park charity) is involved in Toys for Tots with the Marine Corp Reserves.

On Thursday and Friday (December 7th and 8th) we held a two day collection event at the local Walmart at 7010 Auburn Blvd (very near the Community Center around the corner on Sylvan Rd) and were once again thoroughly impressed by the generosity of the community in which we live! We took in loads of new toys and a nice amount of money too (which goes to toys within the Walmart store), including 5 new bicycles! Amazing to see and be a part of this great local charity event.

Thanks to all who helped make this a great success, both through your contributions of time, money or toys....or any of the above!

Here's a couple quick photos:

If you didn't make it by but will still like to donate (new toys, money or even new clothes for up to teen age would be welcome) you can bring by your donation to the Veterans Community Center at 6921 Sylvan Rd on any weekday between 9am and 1pm. Donations will be accepted up until the end of the month (December 29, 2017)

About VCC

James Newton Rounsavell was the Founder of Veterans Golf Park for Disabled Vets, dba Veterans Community Center. Jim was a life long golfer and began to realize that golf could help disabled vets with PTSD and TBI, two very degrading but all too common syndromes that affect our Vets.

Several years ago the charity got a heads up on the sale of the former Citrus Heights Community Center on Sylvan Road, and was able to acquire the property. It has become the center of focus and attention for the Veterans here and that tradition continues with Jim's wife Jeanne after his passing.
