ATLANTA – Hundreds of families gathered at the West End Mall this Christmas for a festive giveaway hosted by Nicole’s House of Hope and the Unity Network. The “Christmas Give Back” event brought smiles, toys, and essential items to children and families facing financial struggles, all free of charge.
Organizers created a party-like atmosphere to spread holiday cheer and ensure no child was left without a toy. Yolanda Jackson, executive director of Nicole’s House of Hope, shared the motivation behind the event: “We got call after call from families asking if we were giving away toys. We don’t want to see any child without something special this Christmas.”
Beyond the toys, families also received clothing and food to help navigate what has been an especially challenging year. Jackson emphasized the importance of year-round support, saying, “We want to provide families with resources like job assistance and skill development so they won’t need this service next year.”…
