Charity Delivers Christmas Gifts to Children

The Val Verde Unified School District is hosting its seventh annual 'Chief’s Toy Chest' event, where over 5,500 elementary school children will receive Christmas gifts, participate in a simulated train ride, and meet Santa Claus and The Grinch. The event, taking place at Val Verde High School, aims to spread holiday cheer to students from preschool to fifth grade, with special toys available through 'golden tickets'. Meanwhile, the Happy Irby Christmas Fund continues its legacy of providing gifts to underprivileged children, delivering 335 gifts this year. In Haiti, Missionary Flights International is making a significant effort to bring Christmas joy to nearly 3 million children in need, despite ongoing political instability and violence in the country. This organization is flying life-saving supplies and toys, emphasizing the importance of their mission during the holiday season. Additionally, The Christmas Bureau is preparing to distribute gifts to thousands of children in the North Country, further highlighting community efforts to support those in need during the festive period.
