[h2title title=”2015 HOLIDAY TOY DISTRIBUTION REPORT”]
20 volunteers joined ACLAMO staff to spent hours sorting and arranging over 1,500 toys around the sides of the social hall of the Calvary Baptist Church of Norristown.
On the morning of December 12, the line of excited families stretched around the corner and down the block.
From 9 to noon, families moved through the hall under the helpful eye of a volunteer escort, who helped each child pick out three toys.
50 volunteers helped distribute toys. The largest groups were foreign language faculty and students from Jenkintown and Plymouth Whitemarsh High schools, which have a long tradition of supporting ACLAMO.
Teddy bears, anyone?
Plastic bags for each child’s toys.
Students and faculty working together.
This child’s joy was replicated many times!
