TruStone Financial employees brought toys to the KARE 11 backyard on December 11.


To deepen the drive’s impact, TruStone Financial and TruStone Home Mortgage employees were encouraged to donate toys or money to the organization through their December Casual for a Cause day, a program where employees have the opportunity to wear jeans in exchange for a donation to a designated charity. Monetary donations were matched by the TruStone Financial Foundation.

Justin Hebner, a United States Marine Corps veteran and TruStone Home Mortgage employee, helped coordinate the companies’ joint donation efforts. “This is the fifth year in a row TruStone Financial has had a Toys for Tots drive, and every year we are so excited to see the number of donations increase,” he said. The credit union nearly doubled the amount of toys it donated last year. “It means so much to us that our members and employees go out of their way to make a contribution that helps make the holidays better for kids across the country.”
