Powering Holiday Joy: Join Batteries Plus and Toys for Tots This November!

Power - by Joe Weber - updated on 11/3/2025

At Batteries Plus, we believe in the power of community and the joy of a child's smile on Christmas morning. That's why we are thrilled to announce our continued partnership with the Marine Toys for Tots program for our sixth consecutive year!

This November, we are making it easier than ever for you to make a difference. Through our "Power with Purpose" event, you have two simple ways to bring happiness to children in need.

Two Ways to Give Back This Season

We've set up two distinct ways for you to contribute to this wonderful cause, whether you're shopping in-store or online.

1. Power a Toy with the "Buy One, Give One" Battery Promo

Every great toy needs a great battery! You can help power up the holidays for countless children while saving on a household essential.

• Get $5 off instantly on select 24-packs of Energizer MAX AA and Energizer MAX AAA batteries.
• For every qualifying pack sold in November, Batteries Plus will donate another pack directly to Toys for Tots.

This is the perfect time to stock up on your holiday essentials and give back at the same time.

2. Participate in Our In-Store Toy Drive

Select Batteries Plus stores are official toy collection locations for their local Toys for Tots chapters. It's a simple and direct way to give.

• Purchase a new toy, game, puzzle, or book.
• Keep the toy in its original packaging, and please, don't wrap it! This helps the Toys for Tots volunteers match the perfect gift to the right child.
• Bring your donation to a participating store between November 1st and November 30th, and we'll handle the rest! Contact your local store to find out if they are participating.

5 Years of Smiles: A Partnership with Purpose

Our commitment to Toys for Tots is a tradition we are incredibly proud of. For the past five years, our customers and franchisees have shown incredible generosity.

• 2024: We celebrated our fifth year with a monumental achievement. Thanks to you, we surpassed our goal and donated over 1 million batteries! As our CEO, Scott Williams, said, "Reaching more than one million batteries shows how much is possible when communities, franchisees, and customers all unite for a worthy cause."
• 2022: On the 75th anniversary of Toys for Tots, we teamed up with Duracell and our generous customers to donate over 100,000 batteries and collect toys at our stores and corporate offices.
• 2020: Our journey began with our first partnership, donating 60,000 AA batteries to ensure toys were ready to go on Christmas morning.

This incredible journey, from 60,000 batteries in 2020 to over a million in 2024, was only possible because of you. Now, as we enter the 2025 holiday season, we're calling on our amazing community once more. Let's work together to surpass last year's incredible milestone and donate over 1 million batteries again!

What is Marine Toys for Tots?

The Marine Toys for Tots Program   is an official initiative of the U.S. Marine Corps. Since its founding in 1947, it has collected and distributed new, unwrapped toys to millions of less fortunate children across the country, delivering a message of hope and joy during the holidays.

Join us this November to make the 2025 holiday season the brightest one yet. Together, we can power millions of smiles.

More Than a Store: Our "Power with Purpose" Promise

The Toys for Tots holiday drive is a cornerstone of our Power with Purpose initiative, our company-wide commitment to giving back. We believe in making a difference year-round, using our resources and national presence to support meaningful causes. From planting over 34,000 trees with the Arbor Day Foundation to providing batteries for disaster relief efforts, we are dedicated to energizing our communities in every season. This holiday event is another chance for us to come together and make a powerful impact.
