Posting on behalf of my friend Gary from Grides:

 

Thank you DJ. If anyone has questions about the event please let me know. All donated toys will go to kids that are in need and a gift could really help brighten their Christmas.

Sounds like a great cause Gary. Kudos!

 

Any way I can purchase some toys online and have it sent to you? How much of a turnout do you have as far as needy children?

 

Absolutely you could send toys, that would be incredible!! We could provide you a donation receipt too if you'd like. There's a good 250 Kids that participate in Metro Kidz here. We go out in different groups most every Saturday, except summer, right to these Kids neighborhoods. We bring them the Gospel, sing songs, play games and provide them lunch and more. Not all 250 kids show up every Saturday but that's about how many participate. The Kids involved love the program and I know they'd love a toy for Christmas. For anyone in the San Luis Obispo area, we also now have a Toy Drop Off Box set-up in Peets Coffee in Downtown San Luis Obispo on Court St. Please see attached pictures, you're welcome to drop off a toy there and Peets has great coffee.

Gary, sending to your shop ok?

 

Yes, that would work just fine. Thanks again for the help DJ, really appreciate it.

Done, enjoy

 

I'll be there with bells on.

 

Axxlrod looking forward to you being there, bells and all. Anyone else here plan on attending????

DJ I received your gift, thank you so much!!! We can accept gifts till about 12/14/09, so if anyone else would like to send a toy to be given to Metro Kidz, please do. Will put a big smile on a little kids face.
