I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the Toledo Food Bank Toy Drive.
Heartfelt thanks to all the individuals who donated warm hats, hundreds of toys, and money. Thank you to the Cheese Days Committee, Women of the Presbyterian Church, Studio 12 Hair Salon, Napawana Good Cam’s Club, Rene Ketchum and the Toledo Middle School SADD Club, Kim Satcher, Becky Brooks, and all the students who donated toys to the Elementary School Toy Drive contest.
The Toledo Daily Grind, Toledo Timberland Bank and Toledo Red Apple IGA gave us floor space for donation boxes. Thank you!
I would also like to thank the anonymous individual who contributes so generously each year. Rest assured, we purchase many sets of warm jimmies for the children.
Kaye Moore, Bonnie and Dennis Clark, Carol Salsman, Mackenzie, Mollie and Keith Olson and Demi Sahlinger helped with shopping and the distribution of toys. Thank you! More than 210 Toledo children received two gifts each.
The article which appeared in the Town Crier highlighting the Toledo Food Bank and Toy Drive was very much appreciated. Thank you to reporter Marlea Hanson for a job well done.
Thanks again to everyone who made the Toy Drive a success. Sharing and caring about others is alive and well in Toledo.
Mary Rico
Toy Drive Chairman
