Springfield’s Talk 104.1 and Wheeler Metals, along with Crown Power & Equipment, Greene County Freight & Food Sales, Mexican Villa, and Pinegar Chevrolet in Republic, are helping bring the joy of Christmas to foster children in the Ozarks!
We’re happy to partner for the 17th year with the staff at KVC Missouri (formerly known as Great Circle) to fulfill the Christmas wishes of foster children in need.
Many of the children served by KVC Missouri will spend the holidays without family, or with foster families who simply can’t afford gifts this season.
For some of these kids, the toys collected through this drive may be the only presents they receive this Christmas.
Here’s how you can make a difference: Visit any of the locations listed below and choose a child from the Santa’s Angels Christmas Tree.
Each tag on the tree represents a child currently in KVC Missouri’s care. A girl is represented by an angel, and a boy by a toy soldier. Every tag includes the child’s name, code number, age, clothing size, and a Christmas wish list. You’re not expected to purchase everything on the list; it’s simply a guide to help you shop.
