To kick off the drives, New York Islanders Alumnus Matt Martin was onsite at Bob’s in Carle Place to greet guests who donated. Guests who donated toys at participating Bob’s stores had the opportunity to enter to win tickets to an Islanders game.</p> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="2560" height="1707" data-id="8694" src="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-scaled.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8694" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-43-edited-550x367.jpg 550w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" data-id="8690" src="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-84-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8690" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-84-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-84-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-84-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" data-id="8691" src="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-5-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8691" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-5-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" data-id="8693" src="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-14-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8693" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-14-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/20251121_MATTMARTIN_BOBS-14-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">CARLE PLACE, NEW YORK – NOVEMBER 21: In Partnership with Bob’s Discount Furniture, The New York Islanders host a meet and greet with Alumni Matt Martin on November 21, 2025.
