AVE King of Prussia in King of Prussia has kicked off its 3rd Annual Holiday Spirit of Giving to support Kelly’s Kidz and Move For Hunger. 

AVE King of Prussia launched a toy and food drive on November 1, which will culminate with a large regional AVE holiday event on November 30 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The festivities will be emceed by Bob Kelly, founder of Kelly’s Kidz, and will feature silent auctions to benefit Kelly’s Kidz and Move For Hunger, a performance by Classic Carolers Philadelphia, and a special appearance from Santa, courtesy of the Swedesburg Volunteer Fire Company.

All 15 AVE locations nationwide will be serving as food and toy collection sites for Move For Hunger, Kelly’s Kidz, Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, and Phoenix Children’s Hospital throughout the month of November. 

“While AVE has been organizing food and toy drives at the holiday season for over a decade, we decided three years ago to bring all our partners together for one big month-long campaign so we could make a bigger impact, and it is truly one of my most cherished AVE initiatives,” says Lea Anne Welsh, COO of Korman Communities and president of AVE.

“All of these organizations do important work year-round to reduce food insecurity and deliver hope to children who are fighting serious illnesses. Our team looks forward to this campaign every year to help our partners in their mission to take care of those who need it most, which is the true spirit of the season.”

In December, the AVE team will work with Move For Hunger to deliver the donations to local food pantries. Some team members also will spend time volunteering in the food kitchens.

AVE team members in Greater Philadelphia will deliver the toys alongside Kelly’s Kidz at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia.

AVE King of Prussia is a state-of-the-art, residential community by Korman Communities in King of Prussia.
