The 2nd & Charles store at the Harrisburg Mall has announced that they will be supporting Caitlin’s Smiles’ mission through a Book & Toy Drive. The collection started in October and will continue through early December. Cashiers at the store will accept donations of books and toys purchased from their stores by customers. All items donated must be new. We are unable to accept used items due to hospital regulations. The books, toys, and activities will be provided to children in medical facilities through our Bag of Smiles and Coping Kit programs. This outreach benefits tens of thousands of children spending time in medical facilities every year.
2nd and Charles workers will be encouraging customers to purchase books, activities, and toys for the children and teens served by our organization. A store staff member will collect the items from the customers. The store then notifies Caitlin’s Smiles when a load is ready to be pick-up.
Thanks go out to the staff and customers at 2nd & Charles. They have helped with the Book & Toy drive for several years now!
NOTE: 2nd & Charles remains open during demolition of the rest of the mall structure. The store and its parking area are accessible through the normal routes into the parking lots.
