Yesterday was a busy, yet joyous day at our annual Toy Shop. We had all hands on deck and were able to serve over 115 families by giving away almost 500 gifts!!! Thank you to everyone who came out - we hope the Toy Shop helped bring you and your families some holiday joy.
We are just 1 week away from our annual holiday Toy Shop! If you know a parent or grandparent who will be incarcerated in jail or prison over the holidays, please encourage them to send a representative out to the Toy Shop to pick out toys in their honor. https://t.co/avELKIINxr
