Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture Sponsors Holiday Toy Drive
Braintree, MA, November 21, 2005 — Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture is sponsoring a toy drive in conjunction with WB Channel 56 to benefit needy children across the state. People can donate new unwrapped toys in their original packaging at Bernie & Phyl’s Braintree store from December 6 to 16. The toys will be distributed to local charitable organizations serving children, including the Department of Social Services Kids Fund, the Latin American Health Institute, and the South Boston Neighborhood House.
A special “family day” will also be held at the Braintree store on Saturday, December 10, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. People can come and meet the WB 56 “spokesphibian,” Michigan J. Frog, who will pose for photos and hand out prizes to everyone who donates a toy.
“This is the second year that we have held toy drives in all of our stores and we are thrilled to be able to help make the holidays a little happier for families in need,” said Bernie Rubin, co-founder and chairman of Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture.
