Gary Barbera with a neighbor who dropped off toys

Car dealer Gary Barbera made his annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots donation during Christmas week at the local warehouse in Bristol.

The Barbera dealership donates money and collects toys in its showroom for local families. Employees and dealership neighbors dropped off toys into a Jeep Gladiator.

Barbera and his team met Gunnery Sgt. Jacob Bostwick, the local Toys for Tots coordinator, and Jennifer Malazita, the volunteer who manages the Bristol warehouse. ••
