You probably already know or heard that if you ever feel down, or if you ever feel depressed, go out and do something nice for somebody.

I collect Christmas toys and round up volunteers and go to poor neighborhoods, we personally hand those toys to kids because they need to know they are loved as well, they need to know Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christ and we share that joy with our friends and neighbors, especially the less fortunate.

We celebrate Jesus Christ’s birth by being kind to each other, by wearing the prettiest of cloths, by making our homes look fantastic and we make wonderful meals and enjoy having cheers.

Experience The joy of Giving, Share the holiday spirit, open you heart and participate in something good,

Please collect and give toys, new clothing items like gloves and scarfs that we can hand to the parents of those kids, Donate to our charity where we will purchase and give away the items that we need and please accept my invite to come participate in the largest giveaway event at the Frank Garrett center 1226 NW 18th St, San Antonio, TX 78207 on Saturday the 21st. Between 8:30am and 12:90 pm.

With so many families in need locally, why give to national/ international organizations that only gives pennies on dollars to charity but has huge overhead and bunch of executives making millions.

instead, support our 18th annual Christmas drive .. We collect funds for toys and school supplies for area families, 100% goes to cause , 501C3 charity , 100% tax deductible.

Due to a recent injury and surgery, I had to skip this annual event. 17 years of cooking and serving our community along side many of my wonderful friends and volunteers has been a huge blessing to me. But now that I can’t I still want to continue the tradition of giving, so we are raising funds to purchase turkey and trimming meals and deliver them to our community where there is the greatest need. I have been working in the community for 18 years and I personally have made many friends and established many great relationships with local community leaders and church groups. I have the contacts and with the help of my loyal volunteers we can deliver those meals to the families that need the. Please take a moment to donate a gift that will touch the heart of someone and leave a lasting impression on them.

Acts 20:35 “ It is more blessed to give than it is to receive.”

Thank you to the generous supporters who have toys or donated, and the others who volunteered... we gave away over 2000 toys at the Frank Garrett community counter, and 400 to children hospitals and ER rooms. Any kid who woke up this Christmas in a hospital in our area, they would have a present from Santa by their bedside thanks to the many nurses who helped us and if someone made a visit to an area ER, chances are they also received a little Christmas toy to cheer them up

Merry Christmas y'all

A message from a parent to AJ Allee:

Thank you for your kind words, but in all honesty, helping the community that I live in is what I should do, in whatever capacity needed every time, all the time, it's the right thing to do.
You sir, as well as your wife Laura do not live in the Garrett Community Center yet never forget the families and the children of this community.
You guys make it a point to swallow your pride and ask your business partners, friends and family alike to contribute towards this annual event...all for children and families that y'all don't personally know, yet care for...I couldn't possibly thank y'all enough, really.
From my heart I truly wish that all who contribute to this annual event could see the expressive joyous faces of children who receive the toys that they donated who didn't already have a gift under their tree; many of whom didn't even get a tree to decorate in this joyous season...many whom have lost their childhood opportunity to believe in Santa because their parent had to tell them the truth about where their gifts really came from and how they wouldn't be getting a gift this year.
From the bottom of my heart to the very tip of the top of my heart I thank you and bless you and yours in the Lord.
May the Lord bless you abundantly and send you volunteers and contributors for years to come.
Thank you for your obedience to the Lord and allowing him to use you as his hands and feet.

To God be they glory!👆❤

This is why we collect toys
