Charitable Outreach - Cousino Restoration & Environmental

Play it Forward Toy Drive

For the last several years, we have teamed up with host Levis Commons in the annual “Play it Forward” used toy drive where toys are collected the second weekend in January. We bring the toys back to our facility where they are cleaned, sanitized and get new batteries. Every year we pick a different charity to support.
