DECEMBER 19TH BEGINS THE TOY AND FOOD DISTRIBUTION FOR COLLIER FAMILIES IN NEED December 16, 2009

Beginning Saturday, Dec 19 from 9.00am to 5.00pm and then on Monday, Dec 21 and Tuesday, Dec 22 from 9.00am to 5.00pm at the Salvation Army Toy store at 4175 Mercantile Ave, Naples, FL 34104 over 1,800 previously signed up families will arrive to collect food and Christmas gifts for Christmas.

“The response from our Collier community has been positive in donating food and gifts to families in-need this Christmas”, said Captain Alejandro Castillo, the Corps Officer, “although the number of gifts and cash donations to the Red Kettle Campaign have dropped from last year. We are all suffering from the tight economy, but we pray that the goodness and generosity in people will shine through. The Red Kettle Campaign is in its last week and I hope people will continue to give what they can in order to help Collier residents who are in-need. The Red Kettle funds stay in Collier County and are used throughout the year to support Emergency Social Services.”“
