The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Orange has been designated as a local drop site for the Yale Toy Closet program again this year.
Founded in 1993 by Ann Nyberg, WTNH News 8 anchorwoman, the Toy Closet helps ensure that pediatric patients come away from their hospitalization with a pleasant memory. In addition, the toys serve as gifts for special occasions such as birthdays and holiday celebrations for hospitalized children. Toys, gifts and financial contributions are needed throughout the year. The success of the Toy Closet program is directly related to community involvement.
The Orange office, located at 236 Boston Post Rd., will be accepting donated toys through Dec. 13. Once the reception area of the office is full of toys, Coldwell staff and sales associates will deliver the toys to the Yale Toy Closet.
For more information about the Yale Toy Closet collection, contact Aileen DeFeo at 203-795-6000. A list of toy suggestions is also available upon request.
