With a Toy Drive! With over 3,000 military children’s wishes to fulfill, Santa’s elves are hard at work in Fort Hood’s Santa’s Workshop this holiday season. Temple Chamber’s Military Affairs Committee is working to make this program a success through our local Toy Drive. The toy drive benefits the workshop by donat- ing gifts to Fort Hood so that children of military members, who have financial need regardless of their income level, can have gifts to help celebrate the holiday. Primary consideration is given to active duty military stationed at Ft. Hood. At Santa’s Workshop, parents can browse the well-stocked shelves and select gifts for their children from a large selection of donated new toys, games and books. Last year, over 3,400 children were able to enjoy a happier holiday through this program and the gen- erosity of donors. The Chamber collects new unwrapped toys, games and books throughout the holiday. If you drive by 5th street on Central, you can see a large POD sitting in the back of the Temple Chamber of Commerce. If you asked any of the ladies there, they would be more than willing to accept toy donations to fill it. But PODS offered more than a place to store the toys. They also donated a $500 check that the Chamber can use to buy more gifts to go to Santa’s Workshop at Fort Hood.
