Pasadena, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 21, 2011 -- (Pasadena, CA)— Beginning Friday, December 2, Pasadena area residents can help brighten a child’s holiday season by donating new, unwrapped gifts and toys at select local Starbucks. Hillsides, a Pasadena children’s charity, will be placing in-store donation bins in Starbucks stores in Pasadena, La Canada, Sierra Madre, La Crescenta, Los Feliz, Eagle Rock, Glendale and Sunland, encouraging customers to donate holiday gifts that began Friday, December 2.

Holiday gifts and toys can be delivered to select Pasadena Starbucks locations before December 22. To make a monetary donation and sponsor winter outings for foster care and vulnerable children living at Hillsides, visit www.Hillsides.org or call 323-255-9005.
