400 Families in Need Gather to Receive Toys for Tots Donations

PR Newswire — December 10, 2009

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — If you have ever wondered what happens to all of the generous donations of toys over the holidays, we invite the media to see the faces of more than 400 families as they receive 1,200 donated toys from Toys for Tots. Santa Clause is scheduled to attend, and will deliver presents to boys and girls 15 years old and younger.

Families will also be bringing a small donation of their own, as a gratitude to the Toys for Tots program. Rainbows is asking everyone to bring a donation of a canned good, clothing or hygiene item to donate to The Sharing Place. The Sharing Place, a ministry of LCFS, will be sponsoring its annual “Christmas Store” in mid December. This event provides families in need the opportunity to shop for gifts, free of charge, for each member in their household. Individuals, congregations and community groups gathered the Christmas gifts that were donated or purchased through corporate and foundation grants and cash contributions.

Families Reaching for Rainbows, Inc. is a nonprofit organization supporting parents of youth with serious emotional and mental health challenges. Rainbows and LCFS partner on a monthly basis to provide a welcoming environment for families to gather and support each other.
