Because most toy drives focus on young children up to age 12, historically many needy teens had simply been left out. But, no more, thanks to Casey's, who solicits community donations and in early December holds a Drop-Off Event, including a complimentary buffet, eggnog, and caroling for donors. Gifts collected are then distributed by the Coalition to youth serving agencies in Washington County. For information about the annual Drop-Off Event, contact Casey's Grill & Bar, 191 Old Tower Hill Road, Wakefield, RI - 789-9714 |
