On Christmas Eve Eve, many children and teens in the Northwest section of Homestead got early Christmas presents. An annual toy drive, held at the Biltmore Hotel to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade, found itself with extra toys this year.
Louis Fonseca Co-founder and Chairman of the toy drive reached out to Councilman Shawn Fletcher to see if an event could be quickly organized to get the toys to children in Homestead. Fletcher said, âI immediately got in contact with the Mayor, the rest of the Council, and City Staff and everyone quickly worked together to make this happen. We also reached out to the Womanâs Club of Homestead who are providing additional toys and volunteers.â
