Counselor Realty volunteer day Toys for Joy
Thank you to the Christmas Committee for hosting another fantastic season of giving for Toys for Joy and allowing our Counselor Realty volunteers to participate in this great event.
Toys for Joy started by collecting toys for the "Christmas Committee" of Anoka, MN and helped with their distribution. The Christmas Committee's responsibility was to provide food for those in need during the Holiday. There are countless numbers of volunteers from churches, clubs and individuals that were involved with that task and challenges every year with required paper work, collection of donated food and organization of the actual distribution of gifts and food. Association members realized that the number of gifts items collected were not sufficient to reach all the children of these families. They began raising funds to assist in this area through a variety of fundraisers, such as a golf tournament in the Spring, an annual auction in the fall, and multiple other events.
All money raised through the Toys For Joy program stays in Anoka County and there are no overhead costs to this program as it operates as a part of the St. Paul Area Association of REALTORS® with services volunteered and materials either donated or loaned to the organization.
