One of our all-time favorite Chelsea institutions, The Brown Jug, once again is conducting a Christmas Toy Drive for children in our community.
Donors should bring an unopened/unwrapped toy for a boy or girl to the Jug (which is located at 1014 Revere Beach Parkway in the Parkway Plaza shopping center) through Dec. 15th and are asked to be particularly mindful of the “tween” age group for youths ages 10-16.
All of the donated toys will be given for distribution to needy children to the Salvation Army of Chelsea.
For their part, the Jug’s proprietors, Michael and Cheryl Matrinko, will offer a special “thank you” gift for donors by offering one of the Jug’s delicious, signature, thin-crust pizzas with one topping for just $5.00.
This is just one example of a local business doing its part for the Chelsea community. We thank Mike and Cheryl for their efforts — and we urge all of our readers to take part in this worthy event (and get a one-topping pizza for $5.00!).
