Bartell Drugs and Salvation Army holiday “Toy ‘N’ Joy” drive at Sammamish & Issaquah stores beginning November 17

Bartell
Drugs is once again partnering with the Salvation Army to provide holiday gifts
for children in need by collecting new, unwrapped toys during its 10th
annual Salvation Army “Toy ‘N’ Joy” drive, November 17 through December 14.

The toy donations will be accepted at all
Bartell Drugs locations in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Toys will be distributed to low-income
children and youth the week before Christmas through the Salvation Army’s “toy
warehouses.” 

 The five-week drive in
2012 generated over 5,400
toy donations by Bartell’s customers—the estimated equivalent of $81,300 in
toys to the Salvation Army.

 Donation
options include:  

 Choose a “gift
request tag” from the “Toy ‘N’ Joy” display in the store and return the
gift to the donation barrel with the tag affixed to it.

• Donate new,
  unwrapped gifts appropriate for children up to 14 years-of-age. 

“The
drive helps make the holiday season brighter for deserving children,” said
George D. Bartell, Chairman and CEO of Seattle-based Bartell Drugs. “The
generosity and support of our customers over the past nine years has been
gratifying.”
