For the past 16 years, the Project Connection Foundation has brought joy and hope to families in need across Hampton Roads, VA, through its annual Holiday Toy Drive. This incredible initiative supports families who might otherwise go without during the holiday season, including those affected by homelessness, domestic violence, and military service.
Every December, the foundation hosts a heartwarming Holiday Party at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, where families are honored as special guests. At this magical event, families receive their gifts, enjoy dinner, and participate in games, music, and activities—all capped off with a visit from a very special guest from the North Pole. To date, the drive has touched the lives of over 6,000 individuals and 500 families, making it a cherished tradition for both families and volunteers.
This year, our Hampton Roads locations proudly continued their support by donating toys for this wonderful project. Thanks to our contributions, along with help from the community and other businesses, the Project Connection Foundation was able to provide gifts, dinner, groceries, and vital resources for over 100 families and 300 children.
The joy on the children’s faces and the gratitude of the families served remind us of the profound impact we can make when we come together as a community. We’re honored to partner with the Project Connection Foundation and look forward to supporting their efforts in the years to come.
