Smith Center’s FIRST Chicago Toy Story!!! | The Smith Center for Community Advancement

Dec 13

Members of the Smith Center Board & Staff

This past Saturday, December 14, 2013 the Smith Center was proud to hosts our first Chicago Toy Story Giveaway and the Christmas Spirit was definitely in abundance! Thanks to the dedication of the Smith Center Staff, Board Members and Volunteers, the families were treated to fun games and activities, good food, and of course a visit from Santa Claus! Donations were still coming in as the children were enjoying the day and the families were most grateful for the experience!
