In addition to handing out toys, the event will have a bounce house, food truck, face painting and holiday pictures.<\/p>\n

And organizers said this is being done to help lift community spirits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re living in a difficult time, there\u2019s a lot going on in our country and families are looking for relief and a little bit of joy,\u201d Millicent Pride-Daniels said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor some families and for some kids this is going to be the only Christmas that they probably get a chance to experience. So, we want to be apart of that,\u201d Shawnta Pride-Daniels said added. \u201cJust to make sure families can have some relief.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Rutledge H. Pearson Elementary School.<\/p>\n

They said though all gifts are accounted for, when people don\u2019t show up to accept those gifts, they still have to be given away because they don\u2019t want to go home with anything.<\/p>\n
