Santa Andy points to boxes of toys

Staff of the N.C. Division of Social Services joined forces with the U.S. Marine Corps, donating and collecting for Toys for Tots.

The Division’s own ‘Santa Andy,’ aka Andy Raby, reminded all of the joy of giving, and most everyone joined the fun of a special photo with Santa.

The Pay Distribution Unit of the Child Support Section led the way by donating two brand-new bicycles. Not to be outdone, a secret Santa from Child Welfare Services provided the ever-popular “Buzz Lightyear.” Barbie dolls appeared to be as popular as ever.

The donation boxes at Hargrove/McBryde and Royster buildings on the Dix Campus were filled to the brim with stuffed animals, baby dolls and cars and trucks of all sizes for all ages.
