• 23 Local businesses and/or corporations sponsored both toy and food barrels
• Help a family who is homeless, but is soon getting a place to live, supply the family with furniture, pots and pans, towels, silverware, blankets and dishes
• Help a family whose mother is the sole supporter of the family of four children younger than 12
