Holiday toy testing has begun at Hopelink of Redmond, WA. There are boxes the size of pallets stuffed with toys for little girls and little boys. People and companies from around the area have donated new, unwrapped toys, to distribute to less fortunate children this holiday season.
Essco – Safety Check is providing free XRF testing of these toys for lead and other heavy metals.
This weekend we will continue testing toys in our office. On Monday, December 21st, 2009 we will be on-site testing as many toys as possible. Our hope is that we can provide up to a total of one thousand tests of toys by XRF testing.
Hopelink serves the homeless and low income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities.
Hopelink is a non-profit corporation with 92% of all financial support going directly to help families in crises and preventing homelessness.
