Federated Payment Systems announced the donation of over 350 toys for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island (BBBSLI) as part of the company's annual employee toy drive.

"Giving back is an integral part of our company's mission," says Jon Levitt, Federated Payments' CEO. "To be able to help bring a smile to the face of a child in need is the best gift of all. I am delighted that we were able to collect so many toys this year for such a worthwhile organization as Big Brothers Big Sisters. I'm truly proud of our employees who share the same sense of community and honorable values that my family and I continue to hold so close."

Through Holiday for Kids' Sake, BBBSLI provided holiday meals for 112 families, as well as a bag filled with gifts and gift cards for the 219 children in those families.

The Holiday for Kids' Sake program is an annual tradition for BBBSLI, and on December 19th, 56 volunteer drivers showed up at Arrow Transfer and Storage to pick up the gifts and holiday meals to deliver to the doorsteps of their assigned families. By 2PM all of the families had been delivered to across Nassau and Suffolk counties.

"It is the generosity of companies like Federated Payments that make Holiday for Kids' Sake possible," says Jamessina Hille, Manager of Marketing and Public Relations for BBBSLI. "Thank you to all those who so graciously provided a little holiday magic for the children in our program."
