Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice & Purtz collects toys for Toys for Tots
For the 15th year, Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice & Purtz offices are collecting toys to be distributed by the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation.
Toys will be collected until December 15, when they will be picked up and distributed by Toys for Tots to approved local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other organizations.
“Collecting toys is a favorite annual tradition in our office, and part of our commitment to the community for nearly 60 years” said managing partner Chris Smith. “We know that the last couple of years have been difficult for many families, and we are proud to do our part to make the holidays brighter for as many families as we can.”
