Wieland Idealease Spreads Holiday Cheer with Toys for Tots Donation Drive

This holiday season, Wieland Idealease turned generosity into action by supporting the Toys for Tots program, helping ensure children in their communities experienced the magic of Christmas.

From October through December 2025, the team organized a multi-location toy drive across three Wieland locations, inviting employees, customers, and community partners to participate. Collection boxes quickly filled with new, unwrapped toys ranging from games and dolls to sports equipment and learning activities — all destined for local families in need.

This effort engaged 40 to 50 employees, and the impact went well beyond toy boxes. In total, the initiative generated:

  • $800 in location contributions

  • $600 in employee contributions of time, talent, and gifts

That support reflects the powerful combination of corporate commitment and individual generosity that defines Idealease locations across North America.

The charity partner for this initiative was Toys for Tots, whose mission is to provide Christmas gifts to less fortunate children. Wieland Idealease’s collected toys were distributed through the local Toys for Tots program to families throughout the region, helping ensure that more children experienced joy, dignity, and surprise on Christmas morning.

The drive was coordinated by an outstanding leadership team, including:

  • Katie Wagner – Marketing Director

  • Paulette Jeske – Idealease Account Manager

  • Marty Rugenstein – General Manager

These leaders helped organize donation boxes, rally employees, promote participation, and coordinate logistics from collection through delivery.

This effort demonstrates our Core Value of Stability in action. By giving back where they live and work, the Wieland Idealease team not only supported families, they strengthened community connections and embodied the true meaning of the holiday season.

Thank you, Wieland Idealease, for turning compassion into impact and being a shining example of Idealease CARES.
