Smith & Associates Participates in The Council on Recovery’s Yearly Toy Drive
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) December 15, 2015 -- The Council on Recovery, an organization that provides support and treatment for addiction and related issues to the Houston and Austin communities, recently concluded its yearly toy drive for Houston-area children. This toy drive culminated in a holiday party December 12 at the organization’s Houston office, during which toys were distributed to children in need and both Council employees and volunteers welcomed the children and their families to lunch and an array of activities.
Smith & Associates, the largest independent distributor of electronic components, is headquartered in Houston, and has participated in this local organization’s toy drive for over fifteen years.
“We feel privileged each time we get to help The Council on Recovery support the local community,” said Mark Bollinger, Smith & Associates’ Vice President of Marketing. “Individuals and businesses from around Houston came together to contribute to the toy drive, which helped the Council continue its valuable work and offer families toys, food, diapers – things to make the holidays brighter. We are happy to have played a part.”
In addition to donating toys to the Council on Recovery’s drive, Smith employees were also given the opportunity to volunteer alongside other Houstonians at the holiday party and work hands-on with local children in activities like holiday ornament decorating.
“This event gave underprivileged children in the area something special to celebrate,” continued Bollinger. “The Council’s efforts each year help make the holidays brighter for children who really need it, and we’re glad every time our employees are able to work with the Council and our community to help make a difference.”
The Council on Recovery’s website offers further information on volunteering and support opportunities, in addition to its programs for individuals and families in need.
