Bartell Drugs and Salvation Army holiday "Toy 'N' Joy" drive at Redmond 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.”
Bartells Redmond stores are located at Bella Bottega and Redmond Town Center.

Army.
