"For the Love of Erika" toy drive kicks off what appears to be its biggest year yet!

Students are getting ready for some rest and relaxation as the Thanksgiving break approaches, but this won't be the case for Taylor Leong, founder of "For the Love of Erika".  Due to the outpouring of support from friends, family, the community, and generous strangers, "For the Love of Erika" is expected to double its donations and holiday parties this year.  As a result, Taylor will be spending this Thanksgiving holiday season wrapping presents for her upcoming holiday parties and deliveries. 

This year, the Westford community has also doubled its donation sites by adding the Day School, Westford Preschool, and St. Mark's Church (to the current collections sites of Robinson School, Nabnasset School, and Crisafulli School).  In addition to this, "For the Love of Erika" has also added two more hospitals to its list of deliveries (Haywood Hospital in Gardner, and Elliot Hospital in Manchester, New Hampshire), along with numerous new shelters. 

Taylor is also excited to report that, after receiving interest from Gibbet Hill Grill, "For the Love of Erika" is going to be hosting a holiday party at their facility, with the hopes of inviting more than 100 disadvantaged children to a day of fun, lunch, and a visit with Santa. 

If you would like to contribute to this wonderful cause, and bring some holiday happiness to children in need, donations can be made to "For the Love of Erika" and mailed to c/o Laura Goodman, 68 Main Street, Suite 3, Andover, MA 01810.
