Toys“R”Us® will continue its free layaway program through Dec. 16, to help families. In September, the company became the first retailer to offer a free layaway program to help customers stretch their gift-giving budget. Extending the program, which was going to end on Oct. 31, allows customers to take advantage of the flexible payment terms throughout the remainder of the holiday season.
Toy“R”Us locations nationwide have pledged to pay it forward by Giving Back each time a generous benefactor visits one of its stores and pays off the balance of a layaway order for someone in their community. For each layaway balance paid off as an act of kindness, the company will donate $200 worth of toys – the approximate average value of a layaway order created at Toys“R”Us – to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, up to $1 million worth of toys.
The company is also encouraging its customers to find ways to Give Back in their local communities, whether they choose to pay the balance of someone else’s layaway order, make a monetary donation to Toys for Tots, or find other ways to bring joy to others. Toys“R”Us will challenge its Facebook fans at Facebook.com/Toysrus and Twitter followers @ToysRUs to join in Giving Back, from simply liking and retweeting posts to spreading awareness for Giving Back, to sharing their acts of goodwill socially to inspire others to pay it forward.
Each time someone pays off the balance of a layaway order at Toys“R”Us for someone in their community, the company will update a “Give Back Tracker” on Facebook. The “Give Back Tracker” is a map used to show where the layaway payoff took place, as well as the total amount of toys Toys“R”Us has donated to Toys for Tots.
