Thanks to your generosity, Christmas was one to remember for hundreds of families in Door and Kewaunee counties. In Door County, approximately 250 families and 580 children benefited from the Door County Toys for Kids program, which collected thousands of toys from over 90 businesses and organizations.

In Kewaunee County, over 100 families and 200 children received an extra holiday boost from the Kewaunee County Toys for Tots program. Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski spent last Friday touring the county and collecting boxes from over 40 businesses and organizations. Even after 30-plus years of involvement in the program, Joski says it is a holiday tradition that makes him proud to serve in the community.

Both organizations thanked their volunteers for helping their collection and distribution days run smoothly. In Door County, veterans of the U.S. Marine Corps helped collect toy collection boxes. Volunteers from the Sunrise Ambassadors, Algoma Venture Academy, Door County Medical Center, and TTX helped organize the donations.

In Kewaunee County, Joski praised the area's National Honor Society members and 4-H clubs for their assistance at last weekend's distribution event.
