Friday, Elf David made another special stop—this time delivering 70 toys to Taume Kohl, Angel Markiewicz, Aly Fischer, Heather McGregor, and Shannon Ruffolo at the Kenosha Child Advocacy Center which provides critical support for children who may have experienced physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, or exposure to crime. Their team offers medical assessments, compassionate care, and a safe space for children to share their stories. By videotaping interviews, they help protect kids from the added trauma of testifying in court. Our hope is that each toy we delivered might bring even a small sense of comfort to a child during such a difficult time. We are deeply grateful for the vital work the Kenosha Child Advocacy Center does every day to protect, heal, and uplift children.

Women and Children's Horizons opened in 1976 and is Wisconsin’s oldest domestic violence emergency shelter with a mission to provide support, shelter, advocacy, education, training and healing services to victims of sexual and domestic abuse, their families and the community. We’re honored to partner with such a dedicated team and grateful for the hope and healing they provide every day!

We needed to prioritize family this season, so we were unable to produce as many toys as we normally do but we're so excited to finally make some deliveries. Elf Joy delivered 69 toys to Tracy McHugh at the Aurora Medical Center. Toys are distributed to multiple locations including the ER, ambulances, and x-ray room. Thank you for all you do for the community!
