The Quicksie Cruiser will be out and about with the Coleman Allied truck Tuesday to collect for the 2023 Quicksie Toy Factory.
Now in its 32nd year, the Quicksie Toy Factory benefits the Helping Hand of Hope Affordable Christmas Program.
“All of the factories that are involved are getting their toys ready to help with the next weekend of the Affordable Christmas Program, and it’s just so important because it’s not like you’re just buying for one child because when we have it set up it’s like a store, and so parents really have an opportunity to look through things and to really pick out stuff for their kiddos,” said Helping Hand of Hope Executive Director Hope Burke.
The program allows families to shop for Christmas gifts for their children at a discounted rate. Burke says the program helps ease the burden for families in need during the holiday season.
“It’s just very important because some of these families are really struggling because like we’ve seen rent has gone up, different things are up, and it’s just wild because a lot of these families just want to provide Christmas and this is that one missing link that they just can’t afford this year,” said Burke.
