Thank you to everyone for your wonderful donations!

You helped the Erie MetroParks Rangers gave 19 boxes of toys, clothes and hygiene items to kids in Iraq!

Erie MetroParks partnered with Operation Give.  This wonderful charity organization was started by a soldier while stationed in Iraq, who noticed that Iraqi had little or no toys.  He began giving the children the items in his care packages mailed from his family and friends, and was touched by the joy the children experienced from receiving a simple candy bar or toy.
