Tis the Season - to give and to share- to volunteer and to be kind
Again this year I volunteered for shopping day at Toys for Tots the local Marines do an incredible job from the toy collecting and set up right down to the distribution and getting volunteers to shop .
If you have never volunteered here are some facts - over 1300 children are in need this year-that is a huge number !
The program teams them up with a volunteer to help shop for kiddo's and we have a ball trying to find just the right things! Some kids get a bike or a giant playhouse, balls and dolls are always plentiful as well as some great stuffed animals, games and of course coloring books.
I love the smiles on the Mom's and Grandma's faces, the Dads and all the parents shopping. The need is real and this allows so many to have a great Christmas. A little holiday spirit without snow or cold - and a little holiday music made for a great day!
Blessings to all who helped make this a success.
