Solicitor Micah E. Black announced that the Tenth Circuit Solicitor’s Office recently completed its annual Christmas Toy Drive in conjunction with AIM Charity. Donations for the toy drive come from the participants in the Solicitor’s Diversion Programs as a part of their community service requirement. The donations provide Christmas gifts for children of all ages, from infant to teenager.
AIM takes pride in being an efficient non-profit organization that meets the needs of under-resourced individuals and families in Anderson and Oconee Counties. AIM’s Christmas Program is only one of the many ways they serve our community. Throughout the year AIM also provides many assistance programs such as Employment Pathways, Financial Stability, Hunger Ministries, Women & Children Succeeding, Pivotal Support Program and a Housing Rehabilitation Program, just to name a few.
This year’s donation from the Solicitor’s Office topped over $7,500 and will distribute gifts to over 500 children in our area. Toys and gifts are also distributed throughout the community at events conducted in neighborhoods and local Fire Departments.
