The Kiwanis club has donated toys to children every year for more than 35 years, and club members along with volunteers spent the day before wrapping the presents.
Head Start Program Director Paris Carnell said the children will receive these gifts through the agency’s family advocates.
“I know they really appreciate and are thankful for getting these gifts, and we are very grateful,” Carnell said.
