Grinch be gone

Wonderful story out of the California central valley -- from station KMPH:
Toys for Tots Giveaway Draws Thousands in Sanger
Sanger's mayor calls it a Christmas miracle. On Friday, its Toys for Tots cupboard was nearly bare due to thieves. Less than 24 hours later the toy bins were overflowing due to a caring community.

The line for the Toys for Tots giveaway in Sanger at 10:00 Saturday morning stretched for more than a quarter mile. Mayor Joshua Mitchell feared the worst Friday. "I cannot tell you how grateful we are for the miracle we saw at 12:00 in the morning when we counted the presents and we felt we had enough," he said.

People from as far away as Modesto donated toys. Walmart also played a major role donating 300 toys plus 70 bicycles. Richard Luz is a regional manager for Walmart and lives in Sanger. "I personally went ahead and got all the bikes and got them together and worked with a team of associates to help bring them here last night until about 2:00 in the morning," he said.
Special place in hell for the mokes who stole the toys. Wonderful that the entire community came together like that. Loaves and fishes brought to life... Posted by DaveH at December 21, 2011 3:17 PM
