H&V Collision Center, the largest independent and family-owned collision repair company in the Capital Region, is joining with the Marine Corps to collect for Toys for Tots at all H&V locations in upstate New York.

H&V has stationed Toys for Tots collection boxes at all seven H&V locations. The H&V locations include Troy, Queensbury, Colonie, Saratoga, Kingston, Schenectady and Clifton Park.

H&V has undertaken Toys for Tots collections in recent years. Customers and visitors are invited to make donations during the holidays at one of the seven H&V locations.

“Holidays and Christmas are a time for sharing and giving,” said H&V’s Vartan Jerian Jr. “The Toys for Tots 2016 collection is the latest in a long series of community donations by H&V. H&V Collision Center is proud to join with the Marines to help make Christmas brighter for some kids in the H&V service area.”

This past summer, H&V donated three cars to three veterans at a Tri-City ValleyCats minor league baseball game in Troy. The donations marked the 14th, 15th and 16th vehicles donated by H&V to veterans and families facing special challenges. H&V has been recognized for donations and support of veterans by veteran organizations in upstate in recent years.

“We are proud to serve so many great customers in upstate New York, and H&V is equally proud to be able to give back and help deserving charities,” said Jerian.
