Parkinson Technologies Brightens Holiday for Local Families with Successful Gift Drive

Parkinson Technologies, Inc. partnered with the Blackstone Valley Advocacy Center for Domestic Violence Help to make this Christmas brighter for three local families. Two Parkinson employees organized a gift drive for the families, which drew an overwhelming response. Jessica White and Maria Quintana collected over $700 in cash donations and filled several boxes with toys, clothes, and other items from “wish lists” compiled by the recipients. The remaining money was used to purchase $45 worth of gift cards for each family.

“Words cannot express how grateful we are to work with such an amazing group of people,” White said. “It’s truly heartwarming. Because of everyone’s generosity, these families—which include several children—will enjoy a very special holiday.”

“Knowing the caliber of people who make up our workforce, I’m not at all surprised at the enthusiastic response to the gift drive,” said Parkinson Technologies President and CEO, Peter Termyn. “Giving back to the community is integral to our mission here at Parkinson Technologies, and we’re proud to continue this tradition into the new year.”
