Santa’s special stop in Pahokee delights thousands of deserving children

PAHOKEE, Fla. (December 19, 2012) — New Hope Charities hosted its 18th annual Toy Give-Away on Thursday, December 13 at the New Hope Charities Family Center. Santa’s special visit brought smiles and holiday gifts to children from the Tri-Cities communities—Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay—who might not otherwise receive a toy for Christmas.

Toys were generously donated by New Hope Charities' supporters including Mattel, Hasbro, HSA Engineers & Scientists and individual donors. In 2011, New Hope Charities was able to fulfill a child’s wish of a toy for Christmas for more than 2,000 kids. This year, close to 3,000 gifts were distributed to deserving children in the Glades area.

The much-anticipated event was open to the public and included family festivities and lunch with more than 3,000 hot dogs and holiday refreshments.
