Lafrance Hospitality teams with Toys for Tots this Holiday Season

Westport, MA (November 8, 2001)

With the arrival of the 2001 holiday season, Lafrance Hospitality Company is teaming up with Toys for Tots to bring Christmas to the less fortunate.  LHC is asking those who may be attending a holiday party at any of its facilities to bring a new, unwrapped toy with them.  Those who donate will receive a voucher for 2-for-1 dinner in The Galley Grille at White's of Westport.

The mission of Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is to "assist the U.S. Marine Corps in providing a tangible sign of hope to economically disadvantached children at Christmas."  Since the early 1990's, Toys for Tots has collected over 64.5 million toys.

Anyone with questions about donating should contact Merideth Milliner, Marketing Manager for Lafrance Hospitality Company, at (508) 676-7888 x445, or through email at mmilliner@lafrancehospitality.com.
