Valley agency grateful to toy drive supporters

The Parent Child Resource Center, leading provider of behavioral health services to children and families in the Valley, was delighted to be a chosen agency of this year’s WPLR Toy Drive Dec. 7 at the Webster Arena in Bridgeport.

The Parent Child Resource Center is one of nine agencies chosen to receive the generosity of WPLR’s listeners and supporters who donated enough toys for PCRC to support 43 of its deeply appreciative families.

Dedicated volunteers supporting PCRC’s mission of “Saving lives by passionately caring for children, families and community” donated their time and effort from 4:30 a.m. and volunteered with the toy drive event until 11:30 a.m. Dec. 7 to help ensure children were able to receive gifts for Christmas.
CEO Michael Wynne said: “Our staff and families are very grateful to WPLR for organizing this fabulous effort that allowed our kids and families to have a super Christmas. Organizations like WPLR give hope to families in need.”
