Last year 2020 we distributed 3,348 toys to 778 children in our area. We have lost one of our biggest corporate sponsors and as we all know the supply of many goods and products is minimal. Some families will have a hard

time providing for their children this year and we will do our best with donations to help in this effort along with our community groups and non profits that help distribute the toys and local businesses throughout the county that support us.

Enrolled Veterans will be vaccinated based upon vaccine availability. Veterans may experience fluctuating wait times based upon demand, and if unable to get vaccinated that day, we will work to schedule Veterans for a future appointment.

Veterans must bring their VA ID to verify VA enrollment.
