Needs for Toybox and Christmas for the Elderly
As I spend time sorting and sifting through the applications for the Jaycee Toybox and Christmas for the Elderly projects, I find myself counting my own blessings of security, health, and family this holiday season. There are so many with needs greater than my own and it is humbling to see the stories, situations, and challenges that others face. I will continue to share these stories with you, so you too can hear first hand, those you are reaching out to with your generosity. In efforts to streamline our needs and fill the request of those who benefit from the projects, please review the list below for ideas on how you can help and get involved in making a difference.
