PLANO, Texas, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season
is unlike any other, and a little holiday cheer can go a long way
to uplifting communities across the country. This Giving Tuesday, a
global day of generosity and giving, Toyota Motor North America is
supporting more than 25 nonprofit organizations with grants
totaling $700,000, providing basic
needs, holiday gifts, school supplies, and more.
Toyota employees are also making a difference through
company-matched donations supporting eligible non-profit
organizations, and donating to employee led drives for food,
clothes and holiday gifts.
"With traditional giving events postponed or canceled this year,
we can still come together for a good cause to help our neighbors
in need," said Sean Suggs, group
vice president, Toyota Social Innovation. "We hope these grants
help organizations bring holiday cheer to families in need, further
support front line responders, and provide additional resources for
teachers."

and organizations local to its U.S. facilities and operations,
including:
- Children's health centers
