Thank you to everyone for the donations! The toy drive was very successful with over 100 donations:) thank you again to everyone

A wonderful toy donation was made to the Child Life Department at Floating Hospital for Children today. The generous assortment of toys and handmade blankets was delivered by Mackenzie Hayes and Caroline Bickford, both seniors at Hanover High School. The girls teamed up to collect fun items from members of the community to give to the pediatric patients at Floating Hospital. Their wonderful efforts are part of their senior humanities project.
