A big congratulations goes to our Kids Care Club, recipient of the generationOn Joy Award, which was given to two Connecticut schools for doing amazing things to make a mark on the world through volunteer action. Tokeneke received 100 toys and a $100 gift certificate to help support a holiday project. Kids Care then organized a wonderful event Tuesday in which students made crafts for local elderly and home-bound residents and donated additional unwrapped toys to benefit Toys for Tot and Darien Human Services.
A special thanks to Heather Barlow, Christina Childs, Laurie Duarte, Amy Maccarrone, Catherine McNear, and Suzy Zaino for helping to instill the importance of giving back this season, and all year long.
Dear Tokeneke Kids Care,
I know Alan thanked you all already but I have to tell you how blown away he was (as am I) at the collection your Kids Care put together. He said the generosity was amazing and that you have really put a big dent in their goal for this year. This toy drive is something that has become very important to the firemen, and each year they try to beat their goal from the year before. This year the goal is 2,000 toys and thanks to you they are well on their way.
Thank you so much for all your help!
Laura Hyatt, NH Fire Department
