Salem Five Launches Fourth Annual Holiday Toy Drive

---

Salem Five and The Salvation Army join forces to benefit local families in need.

Salem, MA., November 18, 2024 – Salem Five Bank is again teaming up with The Salvation Army, Massachusetts Division to collect new, unwrapped toys for children in need across eastern Massachusetts this holiday season, the bank announced today.

All Salem Five branch locations, as well as its corporate headquarters in Salem and insurance headquarters in Woburn, will serve as drop-off locations starting today and lasting through December 24th. The Salvation Army will gather and distribute the toys to children throughout the region.

“Salem Five looks forward to this event each year. Our customers and employees enjoy shopping for toys that will bring smiles to children’s faces,” said Helen Topor, Executive Vice President, Director of Human Resources at Salem Five. “Based upon the success of our previous toy drives, we’re hoping we can help make the holidays magical for even more young people in our region.

”Unfortunately, it is a reality that many local families continue to struggle with basic needs. As the largest private provider of social services, The Salvation Army remains focused on ensuring that children and families in need will have food on the table, Christmas gifts to unwrap, and afford to pay the bills to keep them in their homes. Receiving toys during this special time of year can make the holidays a bit brighter for them by delivering hope and putting smiles on young faces.

“We are pleased to partner once again with Salem Five to better serve Essex and Middlesex counties this holiday season,” said Major Elijah O. Kahn, General Secretary, The Salvation Army, Massachusetts Division. “With Salem Five’s branch network and passion for the cause, we are anticipating another strong turnout.”
