LOGAN â With a slight change of pace this year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Abundant Life Worship Center and City of Loganâs annual Team Santa toy giveaway was held in downtown Logan this past Saturday, Dec. 12.
2020 marked the third year the city has partnered with Abundant Life for the Team Santa event, although the city had held it prior to that. According to the churchâs pastor, Gary Wilson, the event has provided toys to anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 area children in its previous two years.
Due to COVID-19 guidelines, this yearâs Team Santa was held as a drive-up style event, with Santa and Mrs. Claus on hand in the state buildingâs lot for any child who wanted to get out and take a photo. A team of volunteers included Abundant Life church members, city employees, festival queens and others
