Delta marks two decades with Marine Toys for Tots

John Laughter, President of Delta TechOps and Chief of Operations stated: “Marking the 20th year of this partnership is incredibly special to all Delta people, but especially our teams in TechOps who host the Bike event each year. For some, these bikes may be the only Christmas gift they receive and one that will last long after the holidays – all thanks to the time and care put in by our TechOps team to build them.”

In addition to bicycles, employees at both TechOps and G.O. collected toys for donation. More than ten departments held toy drives beginning in October, including virtual toy boxes featuring kids' wish lists alongside traditional collection boxes placed across campus locations. The G.O.'s efforts resulted in collecting a record number of 2,160 toys.

Delta is recognized as an Airline Partner of Toys for Tots and serves as a National Corporate Sponsor supporting various initiatives like The Literacy Program aimed at providing disadvantaged children access to books which aid their academic growth by enhancing reading skills and communication capabilities effectively.

Each year nationwide contributions exceed $700K towards ongoing support through annual toy drives conducted across multiple sites within their operational framework.
