PSEA donates toys to Pennsylvania children

Toys1 Each year, stuffed animals, board games, dolls, racecars, story books, and other colorful toys fill PSEA headquarters building with holiday cheer and a reminder of the importance of giving during the holiday season.

PSEA staff members donate toys for needy children during the month of December.

Toys collected in PSEA Headquarters are sent each year to Bethesda Mission, a Harrisburg-based nonprofit organization. The toys are distributed to children and families in the Harrisburg area.
