Christmas is upon us. It is hard to fathom how fast the
holiday season crept up on us when just recently the Arizona temperature began
to drop but it is here and it is time to give back to those in need with
charity donation. Charitable giving in the form of children’s Christmas
presents is something that many of us partake in every holiday season but this
year charity donation of toys has been struck with some extra red tape that may
slow the St. Vincent de Paul giving process.
On last night’s Arizona, local news there was a report on
the huge list of toy recalls that have been sent out because of child safety
issues. What that means for charitable giving organizations like St. Vincent de
Paul is that now volunteers have to sort through every toy given to verify that
there is not a toy recall. This means a lot of extra time and many presents
that just cannot be used. Consider giving your time to speeding this recall process
to help make sure kids have presents on Christmas day.
