John W. Danforth Company Lends Helping Hand to Salvation Army

“There are few communities that embody and embrace the spirit of giving like Western New York,” said Danforth CEO Robert Beck. “As a local company and as Western New Yorkers, Danforth and our employees want to share that spirit with as many people as possible, especially at this special time of year with community partners like Salvation Army.”

Today’s donation continues the strong partnership developed between Danforth and the Salvation Army over the last several years, including annual holiday drives to collect food, toys, clothing and other items, since 2018.

Major Annette Lock, Salvation Army Director of Operations, Erie County, emphasized the importance of community support. 

“We are thrilled to once again partner with the employees at John W. Danforth in providing toys to those in need this holiday season. The Salvation Army is a part of the WNY Holiday Partnership, and we will provide toys to 1200 families that have registered to receive assistance at our location.”
