Volunteers Help Local Kids Get Toys

Do-gooders helped assemble gift bags on Dec. 15 that will be distributed today (Thursday, Dec. 20) through the University Area Community Development Corporation.

Thanks to the UACDC for the following information:

For the past 10 years, more toys have been distributed through the University Area Community Development Corporation (UACDC) than anywhere else in Tampa Bay.

In addition, the UACDC created Toys for Kids and collects and distributes
hundreds of additional toys to families who don't qualify for Toys for Tots but whose status as working poor means they need assistance to make the holidays bright for their children.

Members and their families from the American Society of Military Comptrollers volunteer each year and were among the more than 100 volunteers who joined together Dec. 15 to assemble the gift bags that will bring Christmas joy to more than 3,000 children. The gifts are being distributed today (Thursday, Dec. 20).
