POTSDAM – The UPS Store, 200 Market St., will deliver 1,000 books to local children at Potsdam Snack Pack Program’s Back to School Fair Aug. 21 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

This year marks the 13th anniversary of The UPS Store Toys for Tots Literacy Program, launched in 2008 with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Together, UPS and The UPS Store network have collected nearly $7.3 million and distributed more than 44 million books to the most economically disadvantaged children across the nation.

The UPS Store locations collect donations year-round to benefit the Toys for Tots Literacy Program, with one hundred percent of the proceeds going to support local children and literacy programs. Every dollar helps put a book in the hands of a child in need, and thanks to the generosity of the Potsdam community,

“The community’s participation in the Toys for Tots Literacy Program is a key component to the success of this promotion,” said The UPS Store Co-Manager Janice Adderley. “This program provides us the unique opportunity to work with a nationally-recognized organization yet make an impact in our community, which is only possible because of thoughtful contributions from people locally.”

“We are proud to give back to our community,” said The UPS Store Co-Manager Amanda Fonda, “and we can’t do it without participation and support of our valued customers and community members.”
