“This is truly a community effort as everyone works together to ensure that our children in need have gifts to open for the holidays,” the department said. “Human Services has been coordinating this drive for many years and it wouldn't be possible without the support of all of our donors and volunteers that help during gift distribution. Special thanks to our volunteers that helped during gift delivery and distribution days and to Tico’s Eatery and Juice Bar for your kind donation.”
