Community Angels Giving Love This Holiday Season
Giving Love This Holiday Season
Advertisement
The holidays are here and many Treasure Coast families will not be able to celebrate without a little help from the community. So this holiday season, I encourage you to pick up an extra toy to make a child’s holiday a little brighter. There are several organizations on the Treasure Coast whose mission is to improve the lives of our youngest residents and their families.
You have the power to make a child’s holiday much brighter. Just think about how happy a child will be after receiving your wonderful gift. From national efforts like Toys for Tots, to more local efforts, like the ones included below, there are many ways to give the gift of love this Christmas.
I challenge you to donate what you can in an effort to bring a smile and love to a child in need.
Delivering Hope to Less Fortunate Children
This is a very exciting year for the Toys for Tots program. This year marks the 75th anniversary since its inception! Happy Anniversary Toys for Tots! Link to view drop off locations near you:
