GREENWOOD, S.C. The 8th Circuit Solicitor’s Office allows people to donate toys for their Christmas toy drive and receive community service hours in return.
According to the office, the annual toy donation has happened over several decades and spanned three Solicitors.
“This is truly my favorite time of year at work,” said 8th Circuit Pre-Trial Intervention Director Dale Allen. “I have the best seat in the house because I get to see not only the joy of those receiving the gifts, but also the joy of those giving the gifts.”
