What started as a moment of inspiration five years ago has transformed into a miracle in motion for countless Northland families.
That miracle? The “Make Every Child Smile” toy drive, organized by Mike and Shirley Letica.
On Sunday, the fifth annual “Make Every Child Smile” toy drive took place in the form of a drive-thru. The annual tradition was transformed to keep everyone safe amid the ongoing pandemic.
“We had to be a little creative with COVID,” Mike Letica said. “I know Tanya Templer who owns Shake It here, so I thought: ‘Hmm maybe we could use her place and use the drive up window to hand things out.’”
