Karen has been such a dedicated volunteer with the Christmas Bureau for over 33 years. She is the team lead for the Toy Department, and works year-round collecting toys for the children that JCCB serves. Karen’s entire family and many friends have been involved in helping with the holiday shop.
Karen enjoys working with clients with young children and tries to match the right toy with the right child, whether it is arts and crafts, dolls, building blocks, etc. She wants to make sure these little ones receive that special, favorite toy.
The Toy Team Department serves children from unborn to age ten. Karen says, “It has been very gratifying to meet some our former clients and hear how we helped them in their time of need.”
Karen notes that toys are getting more expensive to purchase. “We do a lot of our purchasing in January-March and there simply are not as many "sales" as in previous years. If you are buying a popular toy for your children or grandkids, please consider buying another for a child less fortunate.”
Thank you Karen for your many years of dedicated service to children in our community.
