NWCSA would like to express our sincere gratitude to all who donated during our Toys for Tots drive. Although we didn't get an official count, your donations filled 10 large yard bags in less than 2 weeks!

Senior Master Sergeant David Miller USAF/CTANG (Ret) delivered to Friends in Service to Humanity, Torrington CT (FISHNWCT) and to the Marine Forces Reserve, Plainville CT.

We want to thank both organizations for helping children realize hope through the gift of toys, exhibiting what Christmas spirit truly means.

Glad Tidings Everyone!
