"Helping those less fortunate individuals in our local communities is one of the cornerstones of Northrop Grumman's corporate citizenship efforts," said Dr. Stephen J. Toner, vice president of Northrop Grumman's Azusa Operations. "Employees here at Azusa and across the company exemplify the true spirit of giving, especially at this time of year, by participating in such worthwhile programs as these.
