Utah Community Action is hosting their annual holiday toy and clothing drive on December 14th. The event pairs donors with income-eligible families who utilize Utah Community Action’s services. Donors purchase holiday necessities and gifts for children, families, and the elderly. Utah Community Action’s staff and volunteers organize and distribute the donations each year to help families experience the joy of the season.
In addition, families are invited to shop for items which include winter coats, hats, scarves, clothing, shoes, toys, hygiene essentials like toothbrushes and toothpaste, books, and more.
“Our annual event is only possible due to the thoughtful contributions of our donors, staff and volunteers,” said Joni Clark, Chief Development Officer. “Their dedication is paramount as we deliver holiday joy to the children and families we serve during their journey to self-sufficiency.”
The media is invited to attend the Operation Chimney Drop distribution day, where families will pick up their holiday items.
