Toy fund volunteer already looking forward to next year
The highlight for volunteers always comes in late December, when parents come to pick up toys they will give to their children.
Therese Drapeau of Freeport just finished her second year volunteering with the Press Herald Toy Fund.
She’ll be back. And she is encouraging others to join the fun next year. “We can always welcome more volunteers,” Drapeau said.
It can be hard work, especially this year when social distancing meant smaller teams on each shift sorting, packing and handing out the toys.
But, said Drapeau, “It’s like a little family. … It’s actually a lot of fun.”
