Toys for Tots Campaign coming to a close 

The Weidel Yardley/Newtown office was a drop-off site for Toys for Tots this year, for the first time. What a wonderful experience. The box was placed in our lobby, and allowed access 24 hours a day - at least for the tenants. We share the Historic Grist Mill with a handful of companies, a yoga studio and a separate karate studio. We also share the parking lot(s) with a bank, bakery, pharmacy and a restaurant. 

With so may local businesses hosting Toys for Tots sites, we weren't sure how successful our toys collection would be. Turns out, we worried unnecessarily. Yoga and karate customers, employees in our building, our own Weidel Realtors and staff and the Yardley community all found their way to our donation box.

Toys for Tots got a late start in our area this year, but I am hopeful fora strong finish. There are so mamy children in need.

For me, having the Toys for Tots box in our lobby was a wonderful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. Remembering those in need and acting to make a stranger's Christmas brighter is what it's all about.

Thanks to all of our generous contributors. May your holidays be filled with food, fun and family.

Toys for Tots is such a great foundation.  There are so many who are in need.  Excellent way of showing the spirit of giving at Christmas Anne.

Hi Anne,

This post reminds me of what the wife and I did last night.

We were at a local eatery (Friday routine). When we were standing in line we saw that the "Toys for tots" box was nearly half full.

I asked if they had been by and emptied the box and this was the second go 'round for the filling. The hostess said "no that's all we could get for them, just nobody bringing in gifts".

After we got done eating our dinner we went straight over to the stores and come back with a couple of bags of "toys for tots".

It filled their box and the manager came over to offer us a free dinner for two.

We refused. The reason for that was we were doing this as a "good will gesture" not a get a free dinner gesture.

Have a great day and an even better Hoilday season.

Best, Clint Mckie

Hi Anne,  Toys for Tots is such a great program.  I'm sure there will be lots of little smiling faces on Christmas as a result of your office's efforts.  What could be better on Christmas that to know you helped brighten the life of a child.  Good Job!!!

Toys for Tots is a worthwhile program. You all worked hard at putting together this fund raiser. I just know it will bring much joy into the little ones's lives.

I applaud you!
