Hello Dave,

About the toy drive...
Yes, the City and CPD is no longer involved in the Monumental Toy Drive.
The Harvest Church is leading the toy drive this year and we are wrapping
and distributing gifts from the same room where "Go Get It" (GGI) the after
school program meets, 2395 Monument Blvd, Suite K1 Concord, Ca 94520
They received 2600 gifts from Mattel, suitable for boys and girls in various
age groups. The gifts will be distributed starting Friday December 10th and
again Thursday December 16th.
GGI is volunteering alongside other volunteers from Harvest Church, tomorrow
to wrap gifts. Volunteers are welcome.
The leader of the Toy Drive is Terry Garman of Harvest Church.
I found this link to their web site with information on the Toy Drive.
