Employees of the local Boeing Company of Fort Walton helped the kids living at Children in Crisis this week by having a toy drive and fundraiser. Thanks to the generous donations from the members, the kids living at the CIC Neighborhood will have a little extra this year to make Christmas special. Along with the huge donation of toys, the membership presented gift cards to help provide a home and care for the more than 100 children that will call CIC home.

According to Ken Hair, CIC President & CEO, “The donation helped provide our children in need with a BIG SMILE during the Holidays! The donation truly makes a difference and we are very thankful.”
