The Washington Business Improvement District’s Operation Jersey Cares holiday season collection for troops was a huge success once again as many Washington businesses participated in the effort. PNC Bank’s Washington branch was the top collector this year, unseating Gibson’s Fitness Center which had been the top collector the past two years. Gibson’s was No. 2 this year, with Coppers Salon third. The troops were the Real Number One, though, as they will be receiving much needed items while protecting our country. In the photo John Monteverde, Executive Director of the WBID, is pictured with PNC branch manager Teresa March with just some of the dozens of boxes that were filled with hundreds of toiletries and other products.
