Families were selected after explaining why they needed help with their children’s Christmas wish lists.
“It’s about giving back, helping the less fortunate that might have hard times right now,” said Corey Gilliam with the nonprofit. “I’ve seen some (children) who weren’t able to get toys and that’s a hurtful feeling … (Kids ask) … ‘Why Santa Claus didn’t bring me nothing and he brought everyone else something?”
The Umbrella Movement received monetary donations from the community.
