Christmas Toys 2021
Toys For Tots
By Evelyn Carrillo/Herman Santa
SACI would like to thank everyone who found it in their hearts to bring a toy for our Toy for Tots drive. There will be smiles on kids’ faces in PSL and Martin Counties. A special thanks to Herman Santa and Nancy Rozon for their participation in the distribution of these toys.
I received a letter of appreciation from Ms. Suzanne Hutcheson, President/CEO of Helping People Succeed for SACI’s contributions for feeding the hungry during Thanksgiving. I’ve also received a letter from the Reyes and Rodriguez families, who also benefit from SACI’s contributions during Thanksgiving.
The gift cards and the toys were distributed by Herman Santa in Martin County through “Helping People Succeed, Healthy Families division” in Stuart, Golden Gate, Port Salerno, and Indiantown with the help of Agueda Mejía. A big thank you to all the golfers and friends who donated the Christmas toys for under privilege children in the area.
