The Axelrod Firm and The Beasley Firm Salvation Army Holiday Toy Drive

The Axelrod Firm, PC* and The Beasley Firm are collecting new, unwrapped toys for The Salvation Army to distribute to families in need.  

These are tough economic times.  Many parents in the Greater Philadelphia area are out of work.  Many have no money to buy their children gifts for the holidays.  With your help, we can make a difference.  We can ensure that as many children as possible experience the excitement of the holiday season by providing new toys to families in need.  In 2010 alone, caring folks like you helped The Salvation Army provide over 13,000 children with new toys!

Here is how you can help:
Bring: New, unwrapped toys for children ages infant to 14 years old   
Place: The bin in the lobby of The Beasley Building, 1125 Walnut Street, Philadelphia
Dates: November 14 – December 14, 2011  
Times: Monday-Friday, 12 pm - 7 pm (excluding holidays) 
(Five minute limited parking available to drop off toys)

Let’s share the spirit of the holidays and make this holiday season joyous for everyone!

The Salvation Army helps people around the world including by operating 2 emergency shelters right here in the Philadelphia area.  While The Salvation Army operates thrift stores, none of the donated items will be sold.  Everything will be donated directly to families in need.

*The Axelrod Firm is certified to be a woman-owned law firm by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
