This holiday season, the Giving Back Committee at Md7 partnered with the <a href=\"http:\/\/hopeleadershipfoundation.org\/\">Hope Leadership Foundation<\/a> in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ToysforHopeSD\/\">Toys for Hope<\/a> Toy Drive to collect toys for less-fortunate children in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n<p>The Hope Leadership Foundation provided us with paper \u201cornaments\u201d listing the age and gender of a child which we used to decorate the holiday tree in our foyer. Employees selected an ornament or ornaments of their choice and returned with unwrapped toys to place under the tree.<\/p>\n<p>I personally found it immensely rewarding to watch, day by day, as more and more \u201cornaments\u201d disappeared off the tree to be magically replaced by a wonderful variety of toys.<\/p>\n<p>We initially set and successfully achieved our goal of collecting a total of 100 toys. Some toy highlights include some adorable stuffed animals, dolls, razor scooters, a variety of sports equipment, skateboards, RC cars and board games. These toys will be distributed locally at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingchavez.org\/\">King Chavez Academy of Excellence<\/a> on December 17, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>While it is easy to forget how fortunate we are, events like this Toy Drive help remind us how many children in our local community, due to circumstances completely out of their control, may be without a present this holiday season. It is truly wonderful to see the Md7 community come together and collectively help make sure 100 deserving children will get a new toy.<\/p>\n<h3>Before<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12105\" src=\"https:\/\/www.md7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Toy-Drive-Before-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Md7 2016 Toy Drive before\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>After<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.md7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/toy-Drive-After-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Md7 2016 Toy Drive after\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giving back to the community during this special time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":22652,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Giving Back 2016 - MD7<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Giving Back 2016.
