HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Every year, our community comes together to make the holidays extra special for every child, and 2023 was no different. We had a successful toy drive that garnered over 5,000 toys, distributed to 211 families. The event was a joyous occasion! Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the participants who contributed to spreading happiness and creating lasting memories.

The spirit of giving is alive at St. Francis Center year round, but during the holidays hard working clients receive something beyond the necessities. Well before dawn on two days in December, parents wait outside for the Toy Program Giveaway to begin. A volunteer assists each mother or father in choosing two new toys or age appropriate gifts for each of their children. Area churches, civic organizations, and individuals donate new toys and wrapping paper annually.

Dates for 2024 coming soon!
