Toys and Gifts Donated in Holiday Drive for WJCS

For the past five years, Linda Plattus, a Scarsdale resident and WJCS Board member, has sponsored a luncheon at her home to benefit the Have-a-Heart for the Holidays Gift Drive, which provides gifts to children throughout the county who are served by Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS).  Ms. Plattus invites her neighbors and friends to contribute toys and gift certificates for children in need. This year, Beautiful Stranger.tv (www.beautifulstranger.tv <http://www.beautifulstranger.tv/>)

Co-CEO Abby Wallach generously provided “loot bags” for the guests. Following the theme of her online media brand, which hits the streets in search of real people with great style, the bags featured donations by Fusion Beauty, Tarte Cosmetics, Landsberg Jewelers, The Look and Favors by Lu. The event generated toys and gift certificates totaling more than $3,000. For more information about WJCS, go to www.wjcs.com <http://www.wjcs.com/> .
