We’ve always known about the generosity of homeowners in Encinitas Ranch. For those of you who are new to our community there are many charitable organizations you may not be aware that have many needs with helping those less fortunate than us.

In fact, an example of our giving spirit is one of our homeowners is hosting their very own Toys for Tots drive.

The Cox Family children are hoping to spread the kindness and love of our Encinitas Ranch community to other local children this year! A 16 foot tree of lights will be illuminated at 656 CYPRESS HILLS DRIVE each night during this holiday season. Please bring a new, unwrapped toy to put under the tree. The toys will be collected each night and hand delivered to the Marines at Toys for Tots (for more information go to www.toysfortots.org) The goal is to collect 100 toys to bring joy and hope to the lives of other children. A nightly tally will be posted so come out and join the fun. Please partner with our youth to be an agent of Hope this holiday season!
