TEAM: Toys 4 Kids serves 1,959 local children in December

The numbers are in!

Drumroll, please... TEAM Toys 4 Kids served *1,959 children* right here in our community over the holidays! That's a lot of happy kids and families.

Parents and caregivers were so grateful to be able to pick out special toys for their kids and make magical holiday memories together, rather than stressing over the cost of the season.

Toys 4 Kids really makes a difference - and its success is truly a testament to what our community can do when we come together.

THANK YOU to all of our sponsors, volunteers, and neighbors who pitched in to Make Magic Happen.
