Urban Engineers (Urban) teamed with local charities to help make the holiday season brighter for area children and their families.

Urban’s Philadelphia headquarters and New Jersey office conducted holiday drives for gifts to be delivered to those who cannot afford holiday meals and toys. Gifts collected as part of the Philadelphia office’s holiday drive were donated to the Joy of Sharing program, sponsored by Philadelphia’s CBS 3 and affiliates. Now in its 24th year, the Joy of Sharing Program benefits children served by The Salvation Army. Donations from the New Jersey office were collected for the Toy Store at the Sacred HeartChurch in Camden.

Urban is also collecting used holiday cards to donate to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, which provides residential treatment services to more than 1,000 abused, abandoned, and neglected children in Nevada and Texas. If you would like to donate your cards to this cause, they can not be Hallmark, Disney, or American. Please feel free to drop your cards off at Urban’s Philadelphia office or mail them directly to:
