Christmas Toy Drive 2019

THANK YOU to every toy donor!  THANKS so much to the volunteers that made toy deliveries to families without transportation.  Your show of love for young neighbors in need will not be forgotten by the families.

Wrappers Delight:
​Providing for Local Kids this Christmas

We appreciate the volunteer spirit of those MGM employees who volunteered to wrap a thousand or so gifts for local children in need. Their delight in gift wrapping for local kids was matched by the delight of the families that received the Christmas bundles.

New messages from the families who've received toys this Xmas...

"Y'all have no idea how much this means to our family. We can't go shopping for the kids at Christmas. It's just not possible. But this here is REAL. It's such a blessing to see the kids open gifts on Christmas morning. Thank you so much!"
