Free Geek Holiday Toy Drive
This season we participated in Twin Cities Geeks’ Holiday Toy and Book drive. Over the past few weeks, generous donors filled our bin with gently used toys and games.
Last Saturday, gifts were distributed to more than 800 families in need from around the Twin Cities. Thank you to all who contributed to this wonderful cause!
