Over the past month the Redland Foundation hosted it’s very first Holiday Toy Drive. In an effort to make an impact during this festive season, the Foundation asked that friends, family, and the community bring in new gifts that would later be given to Hope & Home Foster Care.

It is with great excitement and full hearts that we can announce that our goal was achieved, and all gifts were delivered safely to Hope & Home. Both donation bins were overflowing by the end of the drive, and over 130 total gifts were brought in! Hope & Home uses these gifts for their Foster Parent Christmas Store, where foster parents get to pick out gifts that best suit the children they are caring for. This season is not always an easy time for foster families, but we hope that these gifts can bring them some joy this Christmas.

We would like to thank everyone that took part in the Toy Drive, without your generosity and consideration none of this would have been possible. We are proud to support such a thoughtful, altruistic, and kindhearted organization in Hope & Home. The Redland Foundation intends on making this an annual tradition, and we look forward to growing this Toy Drive so that we can spread even more cheer to those who need it.
