Toys for Tots Program Returns to Allen County!
June 16th, 2025
MidWest America Federal Credit Union is proud to announce the return of the Marine Corp Toys for Tots program to Allen County!
Following a brief pause in local operations, the program has found new leadership under Andrea Ainsworth, Assistant Vice President of Human Resources at MidWest America, who will serve as the new coordinator for the Allen County campaign.
“We are incredibly honored to bring this cherished program back to our community,” said Ainsworth. “Toys for Tots offers more than just gifts—it provides hope and holiday joy to families facing challenging circumstances. I am very excited to be a part of the effort to reestablish its presence in our area.”
MidWest America’s President and CEO, Dave Shadburne, shared his support for the initiative:
“At MidWest America, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. Partnering with Toys for Tots aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re thrilled to play a small role in bringing this impactful program back to Allen County.”
Given the current economic climate and the size of the local population, the need for assistance in Allen County is expected to be significant. Toys for Tots is actively seeking support from corporate partners and community members to make this effort a success. Opportunities to assist include financial contributions, serving as a toy drop-off site, or providing temporary storage space. Additional volunteers will also be needed for toy pick up and distribution efforts.

Applications for toy assistance will be accepted beginning in early November.
