Throughout November and December, WFJ is raising money for Toys for Tots, and donating gifts as well. Since we like to have fun while supporting charities, we plan on having a wine tasting with proceeds going to Toys for Tots, raffles and prizes for those who donate within the office, a cookie sale, and a competition between attorneys and staff to see who can bring in the most presents for donation. Toys for Tots is a great cause, providing holiday items to underprivileged children in our area. If you can give some support, in the form of a donation or volunteer work, please do! For more info, see their website: www.toysfortots.org
