Under the slogan “Every child deserves a Christmas gift,” close to 5,000 children will be getting a present during this holiday season, collected by Walgreens in Puerto Rico. The kids who participate in programs run by 125 community groups have been receiving their toys during visits the retailer’s staff has conducted and that conclude on Friday’s Three Kings Day celebration.
Under the slogan "Let hope grow," Walgreens launched a campaign Monday that establishes the analogy between the celebration of a rebirth after beating breast cancer and giving life to a tree by planting it to support the Susan G. Komen de Puerto Rico Foundation and its “5K Race for the Cure.”
In the last month, two major health and home care product manufacturers have joined forces with retailers to distribute a pair of glossy catalogs including hundreds of dollars worth of discount coupons, further fueling their use in Puerto Rico, where consumers have been feeling the pinch of relentless cost of living increases.
