🎅🎄 Santa and his elves made a special stop in Salem, MO on Sunday evening!
They delivered all the toys gathered for the good little girls and boys of our community.

The Dent County Toy Drive would like to thank our amazing community for another successful year. Because of your generosity, 200 children will wake up to joy and smiles on Christmas morning. ❤️🎁

We are truly blessed by the support and kindness shown year after year. Thank you for helping us make Christmas brighter!
