For the 33rd year, Quicksie 98.3 partnered with area businesses to spread holiday cheer through the Quicksie Toy Factory.
As Quicksie Marketing Executive and Toy Factory organizer Jennifer Meyers escorted the Coleman Allied toy sled Tuesday, she said this year’s factories really delivered.
“It’s just incredible the amount of giving that all these folks in these factories have,” Meyers said. “This year we had the biggest turnout of toys that we’ve had in years, and it’s just incredible and we thank them so much. We thank all the factories, the Quicksie toy factories.”
After collecting toys at the 11 participating factories, a truck-load (and Quicksie Cruiser-load) of toys along with more than $1,000 in gift cards were delivered to Helping Hand of Hope. Helping Hand of Hope Assistant to the Executive Director Jaqueeta Jones said seeing the generosity from the participating factories is amazing.
“These toys are going to children here in Hardin County for families who aren’t able to financially support Christmas this year,” Jones said. “These children will still get to wake up on Christmas morning with an awesome Christmas.”
