“During the holidays, we want to go above and beyond mentoring to ensure the season is extra special for our Children of Promise,” said Anna E. Hollis, executive director of Amachi Pittsburgh. “This is the seventh year we have collected and distributed toys, and we hope to continue with this wonderful and heartfelt tradition in the future.”

Along with individual donors, toys were generously donated by Toys for Tots; Eastern Stars, District 9; and Elite Runners & Walkers of McKees Rocks.

The toy distribution will take place from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday, December 21 at Amachi’s downtown offices, 100 Ross Street, 3rd Floor. Each guest will receive a shopping list and a personal shopper to help them navigate the donated toys.
