On Sunday, the dedicated members of Edna 4-H took on a remarkable task. They stationed themselves at Farm Supply Company in San Luis Obispo, working tirelessly to collect donations for the "Joy for Jack's" toy drive. This initiative holds great significance as it benefits Jack's Helping Hand, a non-profit dedicated to supporting and assisting children with cancer or special needs on the Central Coast. According to officials from the organization, it provides crucial help to more than 275 people annually in San Luis Obispo County.

Impact and Purpose

The Sunday toy drive was organized by the passionate Edna 4-H members, who ensured that drop-off locations were readily available across both San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. One of the Edna 4-H members, Kyler, emphasized the importance of every donation. "If you just even find a little toy that you’d say, ‘hey, that little kid would want it,’— we have multiple different age groups that, no matter what, we would love them." These donated toys, games, and books will play a vital role in supporting local children during their difficult visits to the doctor throughout the year.

How the Donations Will Be Used

The collected items will directly contribute to the well-being of these children. They will bring joy and comfort during challenging times, helping to make the doctor's visits a bit more bearable. By providing these resources, Jack's Helping Hand is making a tangible difference in the lives of local children with special needs or cancer.
