North Penn Water Authority (NWPA) wants to thank everyone who donated to our collection for their generosity this past holiday season. For the 24th year, NPWA was a drop-off site for the Toys for Tots Program, sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps.
Gifts overflowed from the designated boxes into our lobby, as customers, staff, local organizations and communities, including Harrington Village of Souderton and Almost Home Dog Rescue, generously contributed toys, money, and gift cards to NPWA’s collection this year. The Montgomery-Harleysville region’s total campaign collected almost 13,000 toys and distributed to over 3,200 children this season.
The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through the gift of a new toy, the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to less fortunate children.
"On behalf of NPWA, I want to thank the community and our employees who donated to Toys for Tots this year,” said Anthony J. Bellitto, Jr. P.E., executive director of North Penn Water Authority. "Despite ongoing economic challenges, our staff, customers, and community generously supported this ongoing tradition which makes Christmas a little brighter for families in need in our region.”
