Teammates from across more than 50 offices within Northwest Exterminating’s Family of Brands donated more than 5,000 toys to the 2025 Toys for Tots campaign. After over a decade of partnering with the Marine Corps on this initiative, teammates look forward to the opportunity to spread joy and holiday cheer to as many children as possible in support of the yearly campaign.
Throughout November and December, local offices opened their doors to the community, inviting customers, partners, and neighbors to join them in bringing smiles by donating gifts for local families. Acting as local drop sites for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign, teams were able to donate new toys and bikes.
As donations poured in, teams worked together to organize and coordinate multiple deliveries to nearby Toys for Tots distribution warehouses ensuring that the toys collected locally would stay within the communities.
“The holidays can be incredibly difficult for some families, and knowing that our teammates, customers and community partners helped bring joy to children who may have otherwise gone without is truly moving,” said Randy Wilhite, vice president of business development at Northwest Exterminating. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who opened their hearts to help make the holidays a little brighter for children across our communities.”
Over the past ten years, the Toys for Tots campaign has become a cherished tradition across the Northwest Family of Brands. It’s an opportunity that teammates look forward to each year, not just to give, but to serve together and make a lasting difference.
Living the Northwest Way means serving others and stepping up when there’s a need. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue to partner with such an incredible organization, and we look forward to working together with the Toys for Tots campaign in 2026.

On December 14th & 15th, the Northwest Good Deeds Team and many Northwest Teammates ventured to the Atlanta Toys for Tots warehouse for two days of volunteering and fellowship.
Partnering with Toys for Tots for several years, Northwest views this event as a great way to foster the relationships we have developed in the community. “This comes back full circle as evident in the smiles of the parents and each child who receives toys through this program,” says Kristen Milligan, Co-Director of the Good Deeds Team.
The Toys for Tots goal is “to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.” This easily aligns with the Northwest Good Deeds goal of providing simple, meaningful opportunities for Northwest teammates to create a positive impact in the community in which we serve. Over the two days, everyone enjoyed the company of one another and the chance to give back this holiday season. Northwest’s Co-Presidents Stephen and Stanford Phillips joined the team to help fulfill orders, “It’s amazing to see everyone helping, and they are genuinely happy to be doing so.”
About the Northwest Good Deeds Team – As much as Northwest Exterminating is in the pest control business, we’re even more so in the people business. It’s that train of thinking that pushes us to think outside the box on how we can better serve the communities we live and work in; the creation of our Good Deeds Team came from just that. The Good Deeds team is an active part of the Northwest Family that seeks out and partners with local schools, businesses and organizations to create an impact throughout our communities. We love that we get the chance to help not only our customers protect their homes from pest, termites, mosquitoes, insulation, lawn, and wildlife issues but also help our communities become even better places to call home.
