Presbyterian Home of Maryland Participates in Toys for Tots Program

PHM invites the community to help "Fill our Van for the Kids" in Towson.

The Presbyterian Home of Maryland (PHM), a not-for-profit senior care community will once again participate in the annual Toys for Tots program. Last year they collected more than 200 toys for disadvantaged children for the holidays.

To participate, bring new, unwrapped toys to the drop box in the PHM lobby at 400 Georgia Court, which is located in the Towson community of Southland Hills (near the Towson YMCA), between December 1 – December 17. The lobby is open seven days per week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We are glad to give back to the community,” says President and CEO Susan Shea. “Through these gifts, it is our goal that less fortunate children will receive a message of hope and love during this season of giving.”

About Toys for Tots, Inc.

The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens. The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.
