2020 Holiday Toy Drive
|
We are all grateful to have made it to the end of what was in many regards a challenging year, and we look forward to a more positive 2021. At the holidays, we always reflect on things for which we are grateful. We want to express our gratitude for the generosity of those who were able to either ship or drop off toy donations to our office this month. We were thrilled to be able to make such a large donation (pictured here) to Operation Santa Claus and to make the holidays a little brighter for some deserving children. Happy Holidays and here's to a brighter 2021!
