Volunteers are needed to collect and wrap toys through December, the event ends on December 19. To participate in the toy drive please contact the Clearwater Community Volunteers Center at (727)-316-5309 or email [email protected]. “We received our first letters to Santa a couple days ago” said Pam Ryan Anderson, Executive Director of the Clearwater Community Volunteers. “It is heartwarming to read those handwritten letters and to know that a family in Clearwater will have a better Christmas because of the support of their community.” Volunteers to help collect toys, answer letters on Santa’s behalf, wrap toys and many other elf like duties are needed. Since 2014 families from foster organizations like the Children’s Home Network, Eckerd Connects and the Pinellas County Foster and Adoptive Parents Association have taken part in the celebration. This year’s toy drive will go throughout December and toys will be distributed to foster and adoptive families in the Clearwater area. The toy distribution will be held in the Clearwater Community Volunteers Center located at the corner of Drew Street and Fort Harrison Avenue and ends on December 19th. Foster and adoptive families are welcome to contact the Clearwater Community Volunteers Center to register their family for the toy drive.
