Peace Country Toyz 4 Tots

Peace Country Toyz 4 Tots Community Heroes

Everyone knows the name Toyz 4 Tots, regardless of how it is spelled. This amazing charity has been working hard for years to help children and teens in need. It’s not just a charity that works hard at Christmas but instead helps those who need assistance throughout the year. That’s right, Toyz 4 Tots isn’t just a Christmas thing. They need your help year-round so children and teens who are in need can get the things they require.

Anyone in Peace Country who knows Toyz 4 Tots knows Trena Huson. This community hero has spearheaded Toyz 4 Tots for several years now, after the original charity closed its doors. Trena stepped in, despite major health issues, to ensure no child would be left behind in her community. Trena is in kidney failure and on the transplant list. She spends four hours a day, four times a week receiving dialysis at home, in addition to working a full-time job and volunteering countless hours for those in her community in need.

As we mentioned, Toyz 4 Tots is a year-round program. Outside of providing toys at Christmas to children who otherwise might not have a Christmas is only one of the many amazing things Trena and Toyz 4 Tots are accomplishing. A great backpack program for teens has grown from 35 backpacks to 75 in just one year. That’s 75 teens in need who received much needed items they simply couldn’t afford.
