For a few hours yesterday, Skyline Church in La Mesa might as well have been North Pole South, as the Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation handed out hundreds of free toys to local families and tried to dial down the holiday stress for parents and caregivers.
Volunteers and community partners rushed to sort toys, match gifts to children’s ages, and ensure that families left with wrapped presents in hand. The giveaway took place from 9 AM to 1 PM at Skyline Church, located at 11330 Campo Rd. in La Mesa. Organizers said every child would receive a free gift while supplies lasted, according to the Larry Himmel Neighborhood Foundation.
