Toys For Children Campaign Overwhelming
Success


This was the tenth year of the Christmas Toys for Children Campaign and by far it was the most successful. We would like to thank all of the generous individuals and businesses that purchased toys, made monetary donations and those who assisted in wrapping the presents for the children.

The donations were used to purchase additional toys and clothing. Fifty families, which included 117 children, participated in the program. Over 700 presents were distributed and 125 of the toys will be used for next years campaign. In addition to the presents each family received food items and each child received a $20.00 gift card towards the purchase of a pair of shoes.

Your support is very much appreciated by the West Deer Police Department, crime watch and all those who participated in the program. We have an excellent start to the 2008 campaign. Your kindness and generosity is very much appreciated.
