Venice
, Calif., December 23, 2015 - The Great Venice Toy Drive Holiday Festival was held on December 19, 2015.
After collecting toys for over a month at local businesses throughout Venice, The Great Venice Toy Drive, a project of the Venice Neighborhood Council (VNC), Vera Davis McClendon Youth and Family Center (Vera Davis), and the City of Los Angeles, ended in its annual holiday festival on December 19, 2015 at Oakwood Recreation Center where toys were distributed to over 580 children.
At the festival, kids were able to engage in arts & crafts, have their face painted, receive a free photo with Santa, obtain their caricature, or play in a moon bounce or in the snow.
