Since 10 a.m. this morning, our holiday dynamos, Mary & Tricia, have been handing out personalized gift bags to Carver families. This marks the third annual Holiday Grab-And-Go, a gift-giving initiative developed during the pandemic to bring cheer to the Carver community when the Holiday Party was on hold. What began as a socially distanced solution has become an event in its own right; 75 families will be streaming in and out of the Carver Center today to pick up their gifts!
The gifts in question were generously donated by Toys for Tots, St. Luke’s Church, and the Westport Police Department. From newborns to 13-year-olds, Carver kids are receiving toys picked for their age and interest.
Volunteers from St. Luke’s School and Brien McMahon High School have joined Tricia and Mary in spreading the holiday cheer. As the afternoon rolls on, all hands are on deck to put gifts under trees and smiles on faces!
