A Ton of Donations

Marion-Pack-32-Gifts-to-Give-1

 

On Monday, December 8th Marion Cub Scout Pack 32, held a very successful drive for Gifts to Give Charity. The boys collected literally a “ton” of donations, approximately 2,000 pounds of toys, clothing and household goods! Gifts to Give provides a place for anyone, including children to give back to their local community, by donating gently used items and repurposing them for children in need.

For the past four years, Lisa Baltz, Leader of the WEBELOS Den, has organized the Cub Scouts to collect donations, and volunteer their time at Gifts to Give. Every year the event has grown larger and more successful. “We love working with ‘Jim’ Stevens, he is a wonderful guy doing some very important work. There are over 2,500 homeless children and 25,000 children living in poverty on the South Coast! Jim, the founder and CEO of Gifts to Give has created a way to recycle toys, books and clothing to help these children in need. The boys from Pack 32 are truly so ‘lucky’, it is such an important lesson for them to learn to give to others.”
