We had the privilege of helping out at NCCF - The National Center for Children and Families’ annual holiday toy drive! It was so heartwarming to see the smiles on the kids’ faces and feel all the love from the caretakers in the room. Thanks to the players who donated toys and the ones who helped with distro today.
