Celebrating 35 years of helping kids enjoy the holiday season

It’s a simple premise.

A Child’s Smile raises funds to buy less fortunate children toys at Christmas.

The not-for-profit accepts cash and purchases toys wholesale. Volunteers deliver the toys to children in the community.

Founder John Gray said this year marks the 35th anniversary.

“When I look back…it’s become natural for me around Christmas to do this.”

Revival House is hosting a ‘fun-raiser’ on Nov. 2, featuring a silent auction and music from Yeager. You can also bring new, unwrapped toys for drop-off.

Monetary donations can be sent to: [email protected].
