TKO Graphix has participated in the Salvation Army annual Angel Tree toy drive the last six years. The Angel Tree toy drives helps children and families who are often over looked – working folks who are struggling. To qualify for the toy drive the parent must be working or going to school. The Salvation Army does an amazing job of getting funds and donations where they’re needed and not spent on administration costs. For example, with the Toy drive 100% of the proceeds go to children.

Doing the Most Good

“In these four words, our mission – to feed, to clothe, to comfort, to care. To rebuild broken homes and broken lives. By walking with the addicted, we can lead them to recovery. In fighting hunger and poverty, we can feed and nurture the spirit. And, in living and sharing the Christian Gospel by meeting tangible needs, we give the world a lasting display of the love behind our beliefs.” — Salvation Army USA about Page
