Vertrue Incorporated Organizes Stuffed Animal Drive to Benefit Kids in Need to have
Norwalk, CONN. (PRWEB) August five, 2008
Each day in America, numerous youngsters discover themselves in traumatic, emotional — or just plain “scary” — scenarios. Vertrue Incorporated, a leading consumer services advertising company, understands that. And lately, Vertrue organized a stuffed animal toy drive at their corporate headquarters in Norwalk, CT. Working in cooperation with the Florida-based non-profit Stuffed Animals For Emergencies (Secure), Vertrue workers donated over 500 stuffed animals to the trigger.
Safe includes chapters in 13 U.S. states and two affiliate chapters in Canadian provinces, Alberta and Ontario. The non-profit program, developed to provide comfort to youngsters who have conditions or develop illnesses that demand travel by ambulance, was started by Florida resident Cammie Sanders back in 1997. (A lot more recently, in August 2004, Cheryl Famigletti of the program’s Texas chapter began overseeing project Safe in the hopes of carrying on Ms. Sanders’s fine work.) An ambulance ride can shake up numerous adults — let alone a child — and having a cuddly toy to offer reassurance is what the program is all about.
Kate Cooke, a Manager at Vertrue and co-chair of the event, stated, “I was overwhelmed by the generosity of our workers!” Right after the drive was over, there had been still individuals asking how they could donate or support out, she added.
Helping folks — especially youngsters — can make a distinction, notes Vertrue. And over the years, Vertrue incorporated has taken component in and organized events that are developed to assist the less fortunate or those in want.
– Sing a song of six pence. At holiday time, Vertrue organizes an annual canned food drive to benefit the needy. Even the most enterprising amongst us might not be able to “sing for supper.” So past food drives have relied less on who can carry a tune and far more on who is most in want.
– Talk it like Townshend. When rock ‘n’ roll legend Pete Townshend released “Give Blood” in 1996, Vertrue Incorporated was already nicely ahead of the game. Founded back in the 1980s, Vertrue has continually run blood drives — not only at their headquarters location, but also at their satellite offices — in cooperation with the Red Cross.
– Warm jacket … warm heart. In addition to canned food drives, Vertrue Incorporated also conducts annual winter clothing drives. Workers donate every little thing from winter coats and baby clothes to toys and games for those in need to have.

When it comes to helping people in require, sometimes a hug and a toy is all it takes, suggests Vertrue.
