When Toys are not Just Toys

We believe that every act of love, regardless of the size, has a huge impact on everyone involved.

We love Spreading Joy to those around us and always strive to do more year after year.  Christmas 2017 was a little different.

Donations were down and our list had to be scaled down but we did what we love doing and that is making a difference with what we have.  You’ve been there, we all have.

Our Christmas Joy event isn’t just toys, food and fun and games.  It’s love in action, it’s kindness shared, it’s hugs, laughter and unconditional love for those that walk through the door.

Because of your generosity, love, and prayers, we were able to invite 66 children to our event this past Christmas.

Your gifts of unconditional love shaped as dolls, basketballs, superhero t-shirts were received with great joy!

Because of your heart for others, hugs were exchanged freely and the children that came were able to have some gifts for Christmas Day as well as a couple of gifts to enjoy that day.

Thank you for sharing in our time of giving love, hope and happiness for these families!

Thank you for the stickers, Facebook and Twitter Shares and food that you gave!

Thank you for the drinks, toys and many many people you asked to help out!

Thank you for Spreading Christmas Joy with us!

 

We’d love it if you’d hop over to our Facebook page and check out all the photos.  Thanks for caring and being part of their Christmas Memories!

 

 

Special Thank you to Olive Garden in Gastonia for the food for the day and Iron Mountain Charlotte Facility for collecting toys for us!
