If you want to help make the holidays a little happier for a local child this year, consider participating in the 2017 Toys for Tots Campaign.
Once again, Monongahela Valley Hospital (MVH) is teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps. Reserve and the Mon Valley Leathernecks, a group of former Marines who do the legwork for the local Toys for Tots program.
“Monongahela Valley Hospital’s employees have been involved in the Toys for Tots program in the mid-Mon Valley since it began,” said John Bogdan, RN, BSN, nurse manager of the Behavioral Health Unit, who helps coordinate the event for the Hospital. “We look forward to this opportunity to help our neighbors in the community.”
From mid-November through December 14, Monongahela Valley Hospital places Toys for Tots collection boxes throughout the hospital and at the Monongahela Valley Hospital HealthPlex in Rostraver. Anyone interested in participating, may drop off new, unwrapped toysat MVH’s Gift Shop or Welcome Desk and at the collection boxes in the HealthPlex.
Checks also are welcome. They should be made payable to “Toys for Tots” and mailed to Wally Fronzaglio, Toys for Tots Program Coordinator, 204 Brokaw Ave., Donora, PA 15033 before Dec. 14. Checks and toys received after that date will be used for the 2018 drive.
