Arby's raised a total of $24,000 for the Ramon Gonzales's Miracle on 31st Street.
"What he has given back to the community is just amazing," said Jami Salyers, director of operations for Arby's, "we knew we had to partner with him."
Managers from the 11 Tucson-area Arby's shopped for toys, books and other items for children of all ages which were given to Toys for Tots. After an afternoon shopping, Arby's bought over 1,000 items.
Ramon Gonzales's, the founder of Miracle on 31st Street, passed away on Thursday Dec. 17 due to COVID-19 complications.
There are plans for Miracle on 31st Street to continue in honor of Gonzales, said Salyers.
