The Christians Association of Axarquia said “we have seen too many families who cannot give their children a toy for Christmas.” And as such, they’ve pledged to collect donated toys for those families who most need a little help at Christmas time. Toy donations will be collected from Torre del Mar by volunteers from the Christians of Axarquia, Thursday December 19 and Friday December 20.

Toy donations will be collected over two days.

The initiative is aimed at elderly persons who live alone, are non-disabled and would like company on what are the two most important days of Spain’s festive season. The Maria Auxiliadora residence would arrange transport, Reinosa, said, adding that lots would be drawn should there be more than three people respond to the Christmas and New Year invitation.
