The brightly wrapped, thoughtful toys and gifts, generously donated by individuals and organizations across Chesterfield, are set to bring joy and comfort to the families supported by the foodbank. The initiative not only demonstrates the spirit of giving within the community but also highlights the remarkable dedication of Chesterfield Foodbank’s volunteers.
