Westlake TravelCenter Employees Donate Hundreds Of Toys

continued their holiday tradition for the 13th year in a row, donating hundreds of new toys to the Red Cross of Greater Cleveland. On Thursday, the toys were loaded into Red Cross disaster vehicles, which will be dispatched to disasters or house fires.

Thanks to the donations, children affected by a natural disaster or house fire, will also get a toy for the holidays, along with snacks, clothing, personal hygeine kits and more.

“At the scene of a disaster, especially in a situation like a fire where a family often loses all of their belongings, a toy can bring great comfort to a child,” said Michelene Holland, associate director of Emergency Services for the American Red Cross of Greater Cleveland in a statement. “We are so grateful to the employees of TravelCenters of America for what has now become an annual donation. It allows us to help children in a special way through the holidays and beyond.”
