Mercedes-Benz of Ontario Starts Toy Drive for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

At Mercedes-Benz of Ontario, we pride ourselves in creating everlasting memories not just for our guests, but for the Inland Empire and Los Angeles community.  As our way of giving back to the community, we are supporting the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles by having a toy drive here at our Fletcher Jones dealership!

With 132 toys donated last year, Mercedes-Benz of Ontario Sales Consultant, Abe Raad has taken it upon himself to match every toy and art supplies donated. To top things off, Mercedes-Benz of Ontario will ALSO match every toy donated. The toy drive will continue until February 26, 2018.

Help us bring joy to the patients at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
