HHM Employees Donate Toys to Children in Need this Holiday Season

Bloomfield, Ind. (Dec. 23, 2024) — Hoosier Heritage Management employees gifted Crane Credit Union over 80 toys for local children this holiday season. 

Toys for Tots, a nonprofit organization started and run by the Marine Corps, has a mission to collect new toys and distribute them to children in need at Christmas time. By carrying out this mission, Toys for Tots hopes to bring the joy of Christmas to children across the county and send a message of hope to those in need in America. In southern Indiana, the local Toys for Tots chapter is at NSA Crane. 

“At HHM, we have a passion for our local community, and the Holiday Season is the perfect time to put that passion to good use, spreading Holiday cheer to children in need,” comments Nicole Gose, wife of Robert Gose, Operations Head at Hoosier Heritage Management. Nicole goes on to describe the reason why this cause is so near and dear to the hearts of HHM employees, saying, “One main reason we do this is that every child should have something under the tree on Christmas morning. We as parents more than likely have been there at one time or another. We do this as an act of love from one human to another.” 

For the past nine years, Nicole and Robert Gose have collected donations from fellow HHM employees, buying gifts to donate to the local Toys for Tots chapter. This fall and winter, HHM employees donated hundreds of dollars to the cause, allowing Nicole Gose to purchase and drop off over 80 toys to Crane Credit Union. 

“When we saw the extent of the donations, we could not contain our excitement,” commented an employee at Crane Credit Union. They continued, “These toys can go a long way in spreading joy to children in our area— it can make all the difference to families this time of year. We want to thank Hoosier Heritage Management for all that they have done in supporting our mission so consistently these last several years.”
