Peace Neighborhood Center’s Christmas Toyland is a spectacle to behold.
Each year, as the community center preps for its annual Christmas Gift Distribution to families in need, the staff converts its classroom into a vast and varied Holiday Toyland, with toys, games, dolls, clothing, Lego sets, school supplies … everything you can imagine to make a child smile on Christmas morning. Specific requested gifts are then selected by Santa’s Elves for each qualifying family and handed out this week.
To help make the magic happen, Anna’s Kindness volunteers helped transform the room into this year’s Peace Toyland on Saturday, moving all the donated items into the Toyland and setting up each table with an array of similar gifts. By the time our volunteers were finished, the room had all the makings of a child’s dream shopping trip.
Thank you to Skyline High School’s Lucas Johal-Smith and Madeline Ellies and their parents for helping create the Toyland, and a special thank you to Chuck and Hayley Marchand for hosting the event for Anna’s Kindness. And thanks to the staff at Peace for allowing Anna’s Kindness to again be involved in such a wonderful Christmas tradition.
