Weichert Collects Thousands of Toys for Kids

The Weichert Family of Companies concluded its 32nd annual toy drive by collecting more than 21,000 toys for less fortunate children this holiday season.

Toys were collected by Weichert, Realtors sales offices, corporate employees and franchise affiliates (including the Wyckoff office) and were provided to various charities throughout the country.

"After our 32nd Toy Drive, it's humbling to witness the consistent display of generosity and willingness to help those less fortunate," said Jim Weichert, president and founder of Weichert Realtors.  "After another successful toy drive, I'd like to recognize our employees and those in the community for their contributions and thoughtfulness this holiday season."
