Thanks to the generosity of our community, The UPS Store® located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd., raised $188 for the third anniversary of the Toys for Tots Literacy Program. All proceeds donated locally benefit children in Portland and the surrounding communties.
Throughout November and December 2010, The UPS Store offered customers the opportunity to purchase donation cards. Every donation helps the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation buy a book for a deserving child.
"The community's participation in the Program was a key component to the success of this promotion," said The UPS Store franchisee Tim Kimble. The center will continue additional fund-raising activities throughout the year, including a coin box program for customers to donate their spare change.
The UPS Store and Mail Boxes Etc. network is the exclusive sponsor of the Toys for Tots Literacy Program. Since launching the program in March 2008, nearly $1.6 million has been raised, helping to deliver hundreds of thousands of books to less-fortunate children across the country.

Patience is quiet hope and faith that things will turn out right. We trust the process of life… Patience helps us to endure things we cannot control with a peaceful heart.
The Practice of Patience: I am hopeful and expectant. I do not rush. I am gentle with myself and others when we make mistakes. I am confident that my life is unfolding as it should. I live fully in the present moment.
Affirmation: "I am thankful for the gift of Patience. It helps me keep my peace."
