Operation Homefront

Toy Platoon Reporting for Duty!

Help support the families of those who serve our country

Every day, brave men and women in the armed forces selflessly defend our country and the freedoms we cherish. When they deploy, they leave behind families that often struggle with day-to-day expenses and unforeseen emergencies. Operation Homefront, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors.

Once again this year, Deal$ is partnering with Operation Homefront to launch our 2011 Holiday Toy Drive, running November 1st through December 6th. We hope you'll join us to show your support for our troops and their families -- simply purchase a toy or care item and drop it off in a "Toy Platoon" collection box located in any Deal$ store. Operation Homefront will collect and distribute these items to military families in your area.

In 2010, Deal$ collected over 500,000 toys donated by our customers for Operation Homefront. The toys were distributed at all U.S. military bases stateside, just in time for the holidays. Since last year, many stores have continued to support our troops and their families through back-to-school, flood, tornado, and other emergency supply collections.

Deal$ is both proud and humbled to support Operation Homefront again in 2011. We would also like to thank our customers for their incredible generosity and spirit.
