Mellow Mushroom is offering a new Christmas in July promotion. From July 25 through July 31, when customers spend $25 or more online in Mellow Mushroom gift cards, they will receive a $5 bonus for themselves and Mellow Mushroom will donate $5 towards the Marine Corps Toys for Tots effort, according to a press release.

"Mellow Mushroom is honored to support Toys for Tots this summer by donating $5 for every $25 spent on our 'Christmas in July' gift cards," Anne Mejia, VP brand development for Mellow Mushroom. "Mellow Mushroom and Toys for Tots share a commitment to local communities across the country. We are proud to work together to bring the giving spirit of the holidays into the summer."

Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve that distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. The program was founded in 1927.

"We are very pleased to welcome Mellow Mushroom as a National Corporate Sponsor of the 2022 Marine Toys for Tots Campaign," Ted Silvester, vice president of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and a retired Marine Colonel, said in the release. "Finding a present under the tree on Christmas morning is an experience every child deserves. With their generous support, we will be able to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of thousands of less fortunate children, who otherwise might have been forgotten."
