Special

Metropolitan Housing Authority (LMHA) was selected as
the charitable outreach recipient of the seventh annual,
“Play It Forward Used Toy Drive”. Cousino
Restoration along with The Town Center at Levis Commons, in
Perrysburg, OH, selected LMHA as the recipient for this
year’s 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 beginning 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,”
said Shelly Konz of Cousino Restoration.
