Editor: City of Hinesville Councilwoman of District 3 Vicky Nelson hosted a successful toy drive on Dec. 9 at Irene B. Thomas Park to benefit the Coastal Georgia Area Community Action Authority.
Nearly 80 donors from across the community selflessly contributed brand new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0-5.
"I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the generous members of our community," said Nelson. "The success of this toy drive exemplifies the spirit of community and Christmas that we have here in Hinesville and I feel blessed to be a part of a city that cares so deeply about its children."
Nelson was the first Hinesville City Councilmember to individually host a toy drive in the area and she plans on making this toy drive an annual event.
