TOWNSEND OIL & PROPANE GIVES BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES

Here is an update on our recent fundraisers. A big "thank you" to all our customers who helped make these efforts huge successes - and we wish you a very happy holiday season!

Give a New Toy to a Child in Need!

Donate to Toys for Tots

Townsend Oil & Propane is pleased to participate in the "Toys for Tots" program. Please bring new, unwrapped toys to our Danvers office, 27 Cherry Street, or our Georgetown office, 75 W. Main Street, from now until December 12, 2012. Our offices are open for your donations from Monday through Friday during regular business hours.

The mission of what is officially known as the "U.S. Marine Corps. Reserve Toys for Tots Program," is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. You may visit the Toys for Tots website here.

Thank you for your support!
