The American Legion’s Morrison Ritchie Post completed a successful 2015 toy drive.

Legionnaires deliver gifts for deserving children

Thanks to generous contributions from the Post members and the Finleyville community, well over $1,400 in new toys were delivered to the St. Francis Church Ladies of Charity to provide a merry Christmas for deserving youngsters.

The Ladies of Charity saw that each deserving child received a special Christmas gift. “It’s our way of paying forward for what our community means to us,” said Legion Post Vice Commander Bob Jones. “We are a service organization, first and foremost.”
