Traton Homes Continues Annual Tradition of Stuffing-a-Bus for Cobb Christmas

With support from its employees, vendors and the local community, Traton Homes donated nearly one thousand toys to Cobb Christmas this year.

On Dec. 10, 2014, Traton Homes continued its annual tradition of stuffing a Cobb Community Transit Bus with toys for Cobb Christmas, Inc. Thanks to the support of its employees, vendors and the local community, Traton Homes received over $8,000 in donations to “Stuff-a-Bus” with nearly one thousand toys to help local families in need.

“We have been a member of the Cobb County community for more than 40 years and are delighted to partner with Cobb Christmas to help spread cheer to our neighbors this season,” said Kimberly Garwood, director of marketing at Traton Homes. “This year, we once again expanded our toy collection efforts by opening our model homes and corporate office as drop-off locations and we want to thank the generous members of the community who helped with this effort.”

In addition to the local community, Traton Homes received significant support from its employees and vendors. “The outpouring of generosity from our employees, vendors and neighbors was truly spectacular. Many thanks to each and every one who helped make this project a huge success,” added Eric Price, chief operating officer at Traton Homes.
