Community members in artesia hosted a toy drive for families today.

??

This is the second time the event has been held and volunteers were excited about the opportunity to help give back.

??

The event had free food, live music, and a variety of toys to pick from.

??

Due to the pandemic, event coordinators believe a toy drive could help fill the bottom of a few christmas tress.

"it's beneficial towards the community because as you can see; it was a big turn out you know a lot of kids aren't fortunate enough to have christmas so why not give back.

The lord blessed us so that's the only way you gone get something is to give something."

"usually we would have had something on the inside, but this year we had to make some changes and try to have it outside and still try to do the social distancing thing,you know, and follow guidelines; but it wasn't going to detour us from doing it."

Over 100 participants attended the toy drive.
