We are pleased to announce the ‘Hope for the Holidays’ ninth annual Toy Drive to benefit children living in Central Florida. Let’s all contribute a new, unwrapped toy for distribution to children of all ages. The holidays can be a particularly difficult time for the thousands of Central Floridians who can benefit from a simple hand up. This year, the need is even greater, as more Central Floridians are relying on shelters as a result of job loss, home loss and other economic related losses. A gift can mean so much to a child who otherwise may have to do without. Thank you for your participation in this worthwhile endeavor and best wishes for the season.”
