Orange, Calif., Jan. 7, 2012 – In celebration of the 2012 holiday season, associates in the Orange County office of AmerisourceBergen chose Laura’s House as their charity of choice, donating 192 items including toys and games, electronic accessories, jewelry, linens, health and beauty aids, cooking utensils and more. The company’s associates also donated gift cards to Target, Old Navy, Kohl’s and local quick service restaurants, along with movie tickets and cash.

Michael Varma delivered the donation to Laura’s House in late December. “We are delighted to have the opportunity to support Laura’s House, and bring some comfort and joy during the holiday season to the families that they serve,” said Varma, one of the committee members for the charitable group at the company.  “We chose to support Laura’s House in 2012 due to the wonderful reputation it has within the Orange County community for offering high-quality and impactful programs that are both changing the attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate domestic violence, while providing a safe place in which to empower individuals and families to build lives that are free of violence.”

Annually, AmerisourceBergen’s Orange County office selects a local charity to support during the holiday season.

“We would like to thank AmerisourceBergen for their donation to Laura’s House this holiday season,” said Margaret Bayston, CEO and Executive Director, Laura’s House. “This outpouring of generosity is incredibly inspiring, and we are grateful on behalf of the individuals and families whose holidays and New Year will be a bit brighter, as a result of this donation.”
