Frances Graffeo, manager of Weichert, Realtors’ Brick office, has announced that her office will be joining forces with several local organizations and animal shelters to make a difference within the community this holiday season.

The local community is invited to participate by bringing their donations for the following drives to Weichert’s Brick office, located at 740 Brick Blvd., between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily:

 As part of the 37th Annual Weichert Toy Drive, the local community is invited to donate new, unwrapped toys through Dec. 18, to benefit the Brick HeadStart Program.

 The office will be also collecting nonperishable food items through Dec. 15, to benefit the Destiny Community Food Pantry.  Blankets, sheets, towels and comforters, as well as dog food and cat food, are being collected through Dec. 14, and will be donated to a number of local animal shelters.

“This is our way of giving back to the community that has given us so much,” said Graffeo. “The holidays mark a time of year when charitable organizations receive their greatest demand for assistance, and it is our hope that through these drives we will be able to bring joy to many deserving families and animals.”
