Members of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce are joining with Police District Liaison Detective Anthony Guzzello to collect toys and food for children in Port Washington. The program, in its 18th year, is called “Make A Child Smile.”
The children who will receive the donations live in our community.
Guzzello, who created this Port Washington holiday tradition, says “The joy you receive from knowing your donation can ‘make a child smile’ will make your own holidays so much more meaningful and memorable.”
Port’s residents and businesses are being asked for donations of non-perishable food and new, unwrapped toys to be brought to any of the participating Chamber of Commerce members listed below.
If anyone prefers to make a monetary donation, the check should be made payable to the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce Toy Fund and brought to any of the same locations or mailed to: Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 121, Port Washington. Monetary donations will be used to purchase gift cards and toys at stores in town. The collection will run from Friday, Nov. 17 to Monday, Dec. 18.
Chamber co-presidents Warren Schein and Mitch Schwartz hope our community will support this holiday drive in the same generous spirit that has been shown in the past.
