For the last four years, Kid’s Fashion Week Network’s annual Toy Drive and Giveaway has become a staple in the community of Lemon Grove with more than 700 toys collected at businesses throughout Lemon Grove last year.
“The community shows up in major ways for the toy drive and Kids Fashion Network could not be more grateful for everyone’s continuous support,” said KFW’s Director of Events Aubree Russell in a press release.
This year, KFW is welcoming a new professional Santa. Santa Argyle of Ramona has been a professional Santa for eight years and a member of the Worldwide Santa Claus Network.
“I just fell into this calling as a favor for a friend some years ago,” Santa Argyle stated. “Once I put on the suit, it happened, the moment I looked into the mirror. My heart jumped a beat, and the Spirit of the Season was reborn in a twinkle in my own eyes. I was Santa Claus.”
The giveaway will take place on Saturday, Dec. 16 from 10 a.m. to noon at Larry H. Miller Toyota of Lemon Grove. Attendees can see vendors, coffee and food, festive music, photos, and an opportunity to put in their Christmas wishes with Santa Argyle.
Event sponsors are the Lemon Grove Lions Club, Lemon Grove Forward Club, and U-Haul of Lemon Grove which donated boxes.
Interested participants can drop off unopened and unwrapped toys in one of the tall decorative boxes that Santa Argyle’s little helpers have placed at 17 locations throughout Lemon Grove.
The exact locations can be found on our website www.KFWNetwork.com.
