AgCarolina Farm Credit announces a donation of over 500 toys from their generous customers and employees for local needy children.  The toy campaign began in September in conjunction with Customer Appreciation events held at AgCarolina Farm Credit’s twelve branches in eastern and central North Carolina.

A reception was held at the Rocky Mount branch celebrating the efforts of customers and employees on November 30th.  Representatives of Toys for Tots, Churches Outreach Network, and AgCarolina staff were present for the reception.  All donations will go to Toys for Tots, benefiting local N.C. youths.

“An important mission of AgCarolina Farm Credit is to support those in need in our local communities,” said AgCarolina CEO, Dave Corum.  “AgCarolina thanks our customers as they provide for the food and fiber needs of the world.  We also thank our customers for partnering with our Toys for Tots campaign as a way for us to positively impact our communities through spreading cheer for less fortunate young people during the holiday season.”
