SBJ Staff Report

Dec 19, 2011 - The Savannah Downtown Business Association has sponsored a toy drive over the past few weeks in order to bring Christmas to local children in need, presenting the toys to the Moses Jackson Center at their annual Christmas Party this past Saturday, December 17.

The children got an extra surprise when Santa made a special visit, according to Spy Gibson with SVDA.   

“This will be the only gifts that some of these kids will receive this year. It’s important to give back this time of year,” said Ruel Joyner, president of the SDBA. “The SDBA would like to thank everyone who gave toys. Special thanks go to Shane’s Rib Shack for donating food for the event and Althea Street and Shante Brown for all of their hard work including wrapping all of the presents. This is truly a great cause that brings Christmas presents to children who may otherwise not receive any.”
