boxes and sorting toys.
Once the applications
have been approved, each
approved family will
receive a phone call from
Ms. Jacinda Ford. Please
note, if you do not receive a
phone call, that means you
have not been approved for
one reason or another. Toy
pickup will be on Dec. 21

like to thank once again, Samson Distributing for
the boxes, Jenkins County for the use of the AG
