“The food and toy drive is a great way to encourage community involvement for a great cause. People get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season so it’s nice to take a step back and realize there are so many out there in need. It makes people feel good to help make Christmas special for those who are unable to do that for themselves and their families. We always see an overwhelming donation effort and it makes this fundraiser so special,” said Janna Bergstedt, Marketing Manager of First Community Credit Union.
