University Station Hosts Kids at Camp Donation Drive

for The Salvation Army of Massachusetts

WESTWOOD, MA (May 2023) - University Station in Westwood has partnered with The Salvation Army of Massachusetts to host a Kids at Camp Donation Drive. Items collected will ensure that struggling families can send their children to camp with essential items. Through June 11, Kids at Camp donations can be dropped off at Five Below.

Suggested new items include beach towels, bug spray, sunscreen, water bottles, and backpacks. For a complete list, visit CambridgeSide.com. Monetary donations can be made at Give.SalvationArmy.org/give/MA.

“Every child deserves to experience summer camp,” says Tim Veglas of The Salvation Army Service Extension. “Overnight camp is a life-changing opportunity that is not often a reality for many low-income families. Thanks to our community’s generous support through the Kids at Camp Donation Drive, The Salvation Army is giving local youth a memorable summer experience and the supplies the need when they head off to our Camp Wonderland.”

“University Station is pleased to continue supporting The Salvation Army. This donation drive supports local families in need to prepare kids for summer camp,” says Rebekah Macchia, Director of Marketing for University Station. For more information, visit ShopUniversityStation.com.
