Residents from the Treasure Valley Community Reentry Center (TVCRC) donated money to purchase toys for children in need this Christmas season. In total they donated nearly $1,600. In addition, Joe Howell from Ace Industrial made a generous donation to support the cause.
This week residents went shopping with Sergeant Brandner and hand-delivered toys to organizations and those in need. Donations were made to the Ada County Boys and Girls Club, The Ronald McDonald House, City of Light, Toys for Tots, and other citizens in our community.
It was very rewarding to see the collective effort of these men to bring a smile to children's faces and some relief to their parents who struggle to figure out how to pay for Christmas. The staff at the TVCRC are proud to be able to take part in the progress each of these men have made during their respective incarceration period.
Very special thank you to the staff at the Fred Meyers on Orchard and Franklin for helping support this cause year after year. Thank you to Joe Howell at Ace Industrial for his generosity and continuing to be a solid partner in supporting the IDOC mission.
