Their office locations include Abington, Blue Bell, Colmar and Lansdale. Check out their mission atwww.hedwighouse.org.

When?

If your office is not conducting a group collection you may deliver your bag(s) directly to MCAR at any time between April 11-27.

How?

Fill a shopping bag / cart / or bin with some of the suggested toiletries and drop it off to MCAR and we will provide final delivery to Hedwig House, Inc.
